In history & philosophy of computing this week, connecting line btwn the development of COBOL & people just wanting computers to work, & John von Neumann original ideas about the singularity, today's silicon valley misappropriations of said, & the reality of a self-perpetuating technosocial paradigm
In Philosophy in SFF, we're on ethics, so this week is Omelas & "Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach," & an introduction to consequentialism & deontology w/ axe murderers & trolley problems abundant (can't do the Good Place ep w/o spoilers). Next week is "The Ones who Stay & Fight" & "WDWJKtKitOh"…
But who is going to crank the amps to 11 play a Gibson lp and rip the fuzz solo?
