A post-halloween segment exploring various forms of phenomena, all of which underscore the uniqueness (and strangeness) of the human condition. This conversation hones in on a few lesser known topics that illustrate the oddity of what it means to be human while cognitively grappling with the future state of inescapable death– not just that death in itself is necessarily scary and frightening, but that death’s state is the ultimate incomprehensibility, perhaps by design. This is especially dissonant for hyper-anxious beings that simply must “know” anything and everything. Topics explored: Terminal Lucidity, Alzheimer's, Emergence After Death, eating monkey brains, AI simulated reality, and other odditiesThis segment includes short excerpts from third-party material used for commentary, analysis, and parody in alignment with fair use (17 U.S.C. §107).
