In this episode of the Epistemics Podcast, we are joined once again by Hamza Tzortzis for a fascinating discussion on AI, transhumanism, idealism, simulation theory, and much more.

Hamza delivers a powerful and thought-provoking exposé on the real dangers surrounding AI and the transhumanist movement. What these technologies and ideologies are ultimately leading towards may not be what you think. The implications are deeper, stranger, and more significant than most people realise.
