Today\u2019s episode is bittersweet as it marks Jacob\u2019s last as co-host. To give him a proper send off, we\u2019re diving into a topic he\u2019s been eager to talk about- using mind control to make people stop doing bad things, in particular in the video game, Persona 5. Is altering, or even completely changing, someone\u2019s brain, a morally appropriate way to stop people from hurting others? If so, what acts justify it, and who decides? What does mind reprogramming look like as punishment in Babylon 5 and for Prof. X?
Jacob is stepping down as co-host, but he will remain a supporter and occasional guest of the show. He\u2019s had a great run and brought so much to podcast that I\u2019ll forever be grateful for. Please join me in paying tribute to Jacob by sharing a favorite memory of his time, or just thanking him for being a part of this.
