This discussion is all about the connection between morality and what we eat. I explore the ethical side of different diets, comparing the carnivore diet, where animals often suffer, to vegetarianism and fruitarianism, which aim to reduce harm. We also dive into a big question: do plants have feelings, and if so, should we value them like animals? On top of that, I challenge the way we decide which lives matter more than others. In the end, this is about thinking deeply about how our food choices affect the world, both morally and in a bigger, existential way.

Consciousness is what makes us truly human—it gives our lives meaning and depth. In this discussion, we break down the key differences between artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial consciousness, showing why AI, no matter how smart, can't fully capture human experience. While AI can solve problems and process data, consciousness is something more—it’s about self-awareness, emotions, and personal experiences that machines don’t have. We dive into different types of intelligence, from logical thinking to creativity and emotions, but we find that real consciousness is tied to how we feel and experience the world. As we consider the idea of artificial consciousness, we also face big ethical questions—should AI have rights? What happens if we create machines that can think and feel?

This episode dives into how we see and experience color, asking a big question: do we all see colors the same way? We explore the idea that what looks "blue" to one person might not look the same to someone else. We also talk about how our eyes work—like the rods and cones that help us see color—and how they might affect what we see. On top of that, we look at how color can make us feel differently and how those feelings might change based on how we see things. In the end, I invite you to think about how unique everyone's perception is and what that means for how we understand the world around us.
