 What is an extinction event? How have human beings considered extinction in the past? How is the contemporary understanding of human extinction different to the ancient world? And why is it that tech billionaires are so obsessed with it to the extent that they're making the decisions that are more likely to hasten its arrival?Philosopher of extinction, Émile Torres, has dedicated their life to answering these questions. A former advocate of long-termism, Émile is now one of the most outspoken critics of the dangerous ideologies driving development in Silicon Valley, warning against a vision of utopia which will decimate the planet and upend democratic ideals. In this wide-ranging discussion which pulls much from Émile's latest book, Human Extinction: A History of the Science and Ethics of Annihilation, we delve into the minds of people like Musk and Bezos through a historical lens, examining how it is that extinction anxiety is driving the most powerful to make dangerous decisions.

C'est dans cette enclave coupée du monde à nouveau par le blocus israélien depuis plus de deux mois que nous allons rester aujourd'hui. Gaza où, selon de nombreuses ONG, la famine à venir n'est plus un risque mais une certitude. Gaza où Benjamin Netanyahu semble poursuivre un plan dont semble douter à présent le président Trump lui-même. Gaza où il reste encore plusieurs dizaines d'otages du 7 octobre. Gaza, guerre ou "annihilation" ? Parlons-en avec Beligh Nabli, professeur des universités en droit public et auteur de "Relations internationales - Droit, théorie, pratique" (Éditions Pedone, 2023), Armin Arefi, grand reporter au Point, spécialiste du Proche et Moyen-Orient et Jean-François Corty, président de Médecins du Monde, auteur du livre "Géopolitique de l'action humanitaire" (Eyrolles, 2025).

Har Warfare allerede sat en ny standard for krigsfilm?Jacob Ege Hinchely og Rikke Collin har Cecilie Rubini med i studiet til en passioneret og skarp diskussion af Richard Curtis' romantiske klassiker Notting Hill med Hugh Grant (Love Actually, Paddington 2) og Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman, Erin Brockovich). Der er uenighed om filmens centrale kærlighedsforhold, og især Roberts' rolle deler vandene – er hun sårbar og romantisk, eller spiller hun manipulerende spil? Samtalen dykker ned i filmens ikoniske scener, karakterernes motiver og hvordan Notting Hill egentlig fungerer i dag, 25 år efter premieren. Det er en samtale fyldt med grin, uventede pointer og ægte uenighed – og spørgsmålet "Hvem er du i Notting Hill?" hænger længe i luften.Dernæst vender Jacob og Rikke blikket mod Warfare – en rå, intens og dybt personlig krigsfilm instrueret af Irak-veteranen Ray Mendoza og Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation). Filmen følger Navy SEAL-delingen Alpha One, der under en mission i Irak bliver fanget i et oprørsk kontrolleret område og søger desperat hjælp, efter deres hold bliver ramt af en granat.

I missed Leigh Whannell's newest film, WOLF MAN, in theaters. Bit of a bummer since he's a director who's earned my highest personal honor of earning my view purely off of goodwill - no trailer, no social media post needed.So what was I to do? Nothing, but that's where Universal Pictures stepped in and (thankfully) sent me a review copy of the WOLF MAN Blu-ray (Seriously, y'all. Thank you.)WOLF MAN changes quite a bit from the original source material. The werewolf transformation develops not as a curse but rather, a disease, an infection. Instead of a fur-covered beast with extended snout, David Cronenberg's THE FLY inspires a look that stems from the idea of two separate genomes warring within the same body. It's more akin to the creatures in Alex Garland's ANNIHILATION.But where WOLF MAN differs the most is in its family story. Christopher Abbott plays Blake, husband to Charlotte (the seriously-needs-a-goddamned-Oscar-as-of-like-yesterday Julia Garner) and father to Ginger - nickname Snaps? - (Matilda Firth). After his father's death, Blake inherits the remote Oregon farm in which he spent his childhood (complicated at best, emotionally abusive at worst).Upon arrival, Blake and family are attacked by a mysterious creature. Blake sustains a scratch wound and if you've seen a werewolf movie, you know that in here lies the inevitable. It's just a matter of time.But the real tragedy of WOLF MAN doesn't just lie in the creature of it, but rather the character. Blake desperately tries to be a kinder, less angry father and husband than the example he experienced. But old environments bring that nature-nurture battle back to a head. Some wounds may simply be too deep to overcome.This movie may be paced a little wonky and some of the ideas are executed a little too silly for its own good, but goddamn, did this hit hard for this father of a 4 and 1.5 year old.On the director's commentary, Whannell talks about the need to follow one's own barometer for success. If you laugh or cry or fear your own material, it'll translate. And I'm so happy to report Whannell, for me, at least, is 3 for 3.---Please rate, review & subscribe to The Movies wherever you listen to podcasts!Follow The Movies on Instagram & Bluesky: linktr.ee/themovies_pod

MyMusic with Graham Coath – Episode: Soundtracks & Symbiosis with Tulipomania's Tom MurrayIn this episode of MyMusic, Graham Coath welcomes back Tom Murray from the enigmatic art-rock duo Tulipomania, for a deep-dive into their latest sonic journey — a reimagined and reworked album project that blurs the line between sound and story.Tom shares the remarkable tale of how their 2023 album Dreaming of Sleep inspired acclaimed author Jeff VanderMeer (best known for the Area X trilogy and Annihilation) to write a fourth novel, Absolution — and how that novel in turn influenced Tulipomania's new musical work. It's a true creative loop, where literature and music feed one another.We explore:

(PATREON EXCLUSIVE)The gang steps away from Annihilation conflicted, and they discuss the different things that impeded their enjoyment.The movie is so loosely based on the book that they only share Area X, small plot details, and distant interpretations of characters.Melvin begins his critical descent into madness, and how he feels Annihilation is "just a stupid movie based on a smart and moving book".He also complains about reductionism in popular culture; quippy jokes defining a film's reputation, the tiktokification of public spaces, and interpreting kindness and manners as sexual interest.Kathryn shares some of her beef with the characters, frustrated that everyone's "tragic backstory" is so rudimentary.Despite it being a "theme", the film has nothing to say about self-destruction.Discussing a few key scenes and going script doctor.Sharing our interpretations of the ending and wishing the film was weirder.Melvin monologues his frustrations one last time.Recommendations:At the Mountains of Madness by H.P.

Now is when people will purposefully forget things, and memory becomes very selective. Every year that we are given, means more time to strengthen and shape our world. Some believe that deception can be labelled as virtue. Doubting deeply held beliefs can become very uncomfortable. 47 years old tomorrow, together with the 47th president. They will claim that change is unavoidable. Why ruling powers push religion. Faith became the same as obeying political institutions. Psychological conditioning to accept authority without challenge. Destroying religious challenges also ends the tradition to conquer and convert. The legal systems soon followed politics. The subjugation of populations was always seen as justified. NATO intel doesn't answer to anyone. Their history is a deep one that will require unraveling. They developed the post WWII intel apparatus. Also, the means for controlling the narrative. The colonial version of world history won. Pure faith does not require external validation. The fear based approach eliminated competing beliefs. Silencing traditions was standard. Decentralizing belief is a means to avoid control. Faith existed long before dogma. Trusting your gut is not only smart and spiritual, it's also a last line of defense.

Halfway through one of my favorite sci-fi novels, Charles Stross' Accelerando, we tune in to the members of an interstellar first contact mission as they pass the time debating whether the Technological Singularity has happened yet. Spoiler alert: all of them are uploaded minds appearing in a consensus VR environment as various post-human avatars, riding inside a computer the size of a grain of rice on a craft the size of a soda can. To readers it seems like a satire: what, if not this, would it take to convince you we're over the rainbow? But good science fiction provokes us to question the present, and so we must ask: what are we waiting for? Are we still moderns? Is this still Western civilization? Should we be looking forward to the age of machine superintelligence, or has it already happened, like physicist Cosma Shalizi argues in his blog post “The Singularity in Our Past Light-Cone”? Here's a clip from that piece:Exponential yet basically unpredictable growth of technology, rendering long-term extrapolation impossible (even when attempted by geniuses)? Check.Massive, profoundly dis-orienting transformation in the life of humanity, extending to our ecology, mentality and social organization? Check.Annihilation of the age-old constraints of space and time? Check.Embrace of the fusion of humanity and machines? Check.Creation of vast, inhuman distributed systems of information-processing, communication and control, "the coldest of all cold monsters"? Check; we call them "the self-regulating market system" and "modern bureaucracies”.Maybe we ought to consider, like Bruno Latour, that We Have Never Been Modern. Or maybe, as Federico Campagna suggests in Prophetic Culture, each era's inhabitants identify as “modern” and project the “likely story” produced by their process of “worlding” to imagine futures that recede like mirages or rainbows as we approach the horizon of our understanding? By the time we arrive, we have transformed and the mysteries of the ancient and future are conserved. Some Indigenous cultures believe that all animals identify as “people” — perhaps every world is mundane to its native observers, and yet all of them arise out of chaos and ineffability. Science can't answer some questions because it depends on replicability and provisional consensus, and some questions ultimately force us out of attempts to get everything to make sense and into contemplative surrender to our own cognitive limits (no matter how much we augment ourselves).Science will, of course, continue. As Ted Chiang wrote twenty five years ago in his short story “Catching Crumbs from The Table”, advancements in AI and biotechnology could foreseeably “[leave] journals to publish second-hand accounts translated into human language… Journals for human audiences were reduced to vehicles of popularization, and poor ones at that, as even the most brilliant humans found themselves puzzled by translations of the latest findings… Some left the field altogether, but those who stayed shifted their attentions away from original research and toward hermeneutics: interpreting the scientific work of metahumans.”In 2025, living through the superexponential evolution of machine intelligence, this story hits close to home. What will we do when all breakthroughs are made by black box AI systems whose logic and insights evade us? We already have to take large language models on faith, doing our best to conserve a modest sliver of understanding as we resign ourselves to the practical benefits of successful but illegible prediction. But given that scientific progress has largely advanced through the proliferation of hyperspecialist experts who cannot understand one another's research, we should again ask if it were ever the case that we could explain everything, or whether we've just been ignoring the central importance of textual interpretation as we puzzled over the riddles of a world that never owed us any satisfying final answers?Whether we're modern or not, it is time for us to reconsider the foundations of ideas like informed consent, agency, evidence, and personhood. Whether you think we're still waiting around for the future or that we are living it, we live among an ecology of diverse intelligences and require a humbler approach…one strangely similar to that of Medieval serfs and jungle-dwelling foragers than first seems obvious…one that owes back pay to the dismissed disciplines of religion, magic, and myth. Which is why I'm excited to get weird with you in this episode.This week I speak with one of my closest comrades in philosophical investigation, Canadian author and film-maker J.F. Martel. Co-founder and co-host (with Phil Ford) of the internationally-acclaimed Weird Studies Podcast and Weirdosphere online learning platform, tenured para-academic explorer of high strangeness and the liminal zones between the known, unknown, and unknowable, J.F. is a perfect partner with whom to refine inquiry into persistent and tricky questions like:– What is the nature of technology and how does it change as our seemingly-discrete tools and built environments merge into a planet-scale thinking machine?– How can we tell when AI achieves personhood, and what does it take to be “good parents” of beings that are fundamentally beyond our control?– What can religion and fairy tales teach us about living well in a world where our explanatory frameworks fail us?– How can we re-think and re-claim healthy institutions to serve human flourishing after the end of history as we know it?Subscribe, Rate, & Comment on YouTube • Apple Podcasts • SpotifyPlease consider becoming a patron or making tax-deductible monthly contributions at every.org/humansontheloop.

A recent presentation showcased a diverse array of some 35 games coming to PlayStation 5 over the next couple of years. But -- perhaps unsurprisingly -- that hasn't stopped boo-birds from raining down upon Sony yet again, at least from some particularly loud corners. It seems that some people will literally never be satisfied, no matter what. But for those who are looking forward to new games to play, there was much to be excited about in the form of Lost Soul Aside, Metal Eden, Borderlands 4, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Hell Is Us, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Days Gone Remastered, Tides of Annihilation, and even a brand new Housemarque PS5-exclusive called Saros, amongst much more. This week, we take time to delve into everything discussed during the newest State of Play, and dive into a bunch of other news too. Sony's quarterly financials are out, and PS5 sales are booming, reaching 75 million sold and counting. Meanwhile, Astro Bot is getting even more free DLC, God of War may be reverting to its Greek roots, Resistance and The Order are likely permanently dead, Twisted Metal returns to Peacock this summer, and so on. Then: Listener inquiries! Is Kendrick Lamar a PlayStation nerd? Does HDR even do anything? Why aren't more old folks playing games? Should Colin just retire? This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
