Published: April 4, 2014, 1:15 a.m.

b'On this episode of the podcast we learn about Avicenna, an Arabic philosopher who is most known for his \\u201cFlying Man\\u201d thought experiment. We discuss the mind-body connection (or lack thereof) and ask ourselves what becomes of an iPhone if you pulverize it in a blender. We also work in two Breaking Bad references, and apply Avicenna\\u2019s Flying Man argument to modern day ethical dilemmas relating to life support.
