About this listen

 Imagine Socrates engaged in a dialogue with a sentient machine—would he marvel at its reasoning or challenge its very essence? In this thought-provoking episode, we unravel the intriguing threads linking ancient philosophical inquiries to today’s AI dilemmas. From Aristotle’s notions of the intellect to the mind-bending paradoxes of Descartes, we probe whether these ancient thinkers could foresee the rise of machines that might one day claim their own consciousness. As we traverse history’s philosophical landscape, prepare to rethink what it means to think, feel, and exist in an age where the lines between man and machine blur.
