  • Harrow the 9th pt. 2 and Ethics with Uncertainty
    Jan 10 2026

    Ah yes, part two, where things really get cooking, as it were. We're back with more Harrows, more confusingly named characters, and some proper sizzle! RESPECTFULLY! We also talk about how the unreliability of our own understanding impacts how we do ethics. Enjoy!

  • Harrowhark the Ninth pt.1 and Unreliable Narrators
    Dec 21 2025

    We finally made it! Got it in before Alecto comes out, so you gotta give us credit for that! Truly, this is a labor of love. No after dark, just going extra long for everyone, the way Gideon would have wanted it. Enjoy!

  • Sinners and The Color Line
    Oct 29 2025

    Hell yeah, been fixing to do cover this new hotness since the moment I saw it. Now that it's widely available we can talk about all the ways it messes with the color line, what it says about solidarity politics, how it sets up the invention of bluegrass, and what the vampires really represent! Plus, keep your eyes out for a very related NASA!

  • Death's End and Daoist Ethics Pt.2
    Oct 7 2025

    Here we are at the end of our interminable journey! Millions of years in the blink of many hours. Seen some unbelievable stuff (4d space) and some super believable stuff (gender essentialism) and in the end we've really seen what happens when we stretch the scale of ethics to the breaking point. So, finally, we look at what this all says about Chinese philosophy, particularly what it means to be a Daoist sage. Enjoy!

  • The Dark Forest and Dark Forest Theory pt.2
    Aug 15 2025

    The darker the forest, the brighter the philosophy! Despite all odds, we press on against the horrors of both the fictional and our real universe to talk about what happens when you try to do sociology AT SCCCCCCAAAAAAALLLLLLEEEEEE! Besides parsing the end of the book, we parse the precepts of Dark forest and whether it holds water, what are plausible objections, and what does this tell us about the reality of conflicts at smaller scales.
