Eschatology (THE APOCALYPSE) with Phil Torres
Doomsday. The apocalypse. The End. Join scholar, author and professional existential risk philosopher Phil Torres for a surprisingly jovial romp through different "Oops we're screwed" scenarios that will lead to the destruction of the planet or extinction of our species. (Not to be confused with lepidopterologist/butterfly man, Phil Torres.) Find out where we're at on Ye Olde Doomsday clock, if any of us should have babies, if AI will destroy us, pop-cultural Antichrists, Black Mirror, simulations, technology as friend or foe, why voting matters (lookin\u2019 at you, America) and how to remain chill in the face of doom. Also: the hottest underground bunkers on the market.\n\n\n\n\nPhil Torres is on Twitter @Xriskology and his website is www.risksandreligion.org\n\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month:\xa0www.Patreon.com/ologies\n\nOlogiesMerch.com\xa0has hats, shirts, pins, totes!\n\nFollow @Ologies on\xa0Twitter\xa0or\xa0Instagram\n\nFollow @AlieWard on\xa0Twitter\xa0or\xa0Instagram\n\nMore links at\xa0www.alieward.com\n\nSound editing by\xa0Steven Ray Morris\n\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\n\n\n\n\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies
