Fictional portrayals of alien invasion or reports of alien sightings and abductions often imply motives which on inspection make little sense... unless perhaps the true purpose was mischief.

Aliens Artifacts & Xenoarcheology (Narration Only)

A look at how emerging concepts in science & technology could disrupt our most our understandings of identity, consciousness, and free will. This is the 5th episode of the Existential Crisis series which looks at concepts like Transhumanism, Life Extension, the Simulation Hypothesis, the Doomsday Argument, and the Anthropic Principle.

EC05 Consciousness And Identity

This videos covers two topics, the Anthropic Principle, which uses the idea that your own existence might skew the odds of events you witness, and the basic concepts of Super-Intelligence, and what we might expect of humans or artificial intelligence that achieve that.
www.IsaacArthur.net


EC04 The Anthropic Principle And Super Intelligence

In this Episode we examine the concept of the Simulation Hypothesis, which proposes a mathematical argument that we are almost certainly simulations running on a computer.
www.IsaacArthur.net

EC02 The Simulation Hypothesis

The concept of a Technological Singularity, an accelerated rush in processing speed improvements culminating in a super-mind, has captivated people for decades. Today we will examine this idea and look at some misconceptions about it.

EC06 Technological Singularity

The possibility that ancient civilizations might have encountered or even been influenced by extraterrestrials has fascinated us for as long as we knew there were distant suns they might visit from. Today we will examine the evidence and consider the numerous scenarios form the perspective of the Fermi Paradox, to see how reasonable the Ancient Aliens hypothesis is, and ask if the evidence of UFOs visiting us in the past is credible.

Ancient Aliens (Narration Only)

Alien puppeteers arriving on UFOs, body snatchers, and mimics are a staple of science fiction, but are they realistic? Today we'll examine these concepts and see if they might be possible under known science, or what similar scenarios extraterrestrial evolution or technology might be produce.

Parasitic Aliens (Narration Only)

The possibility that aliens might be regularly visiting Earth is one of the most popular Fermi Paradox solutions. In this episode we will look at UFOs and flying saucers theories and arguments, as well as examining the logic and possible motives of such extraterrestrial visitors.

Secret Aliens (Narration Only)

H.P. Lovecraft is known as the father of the Cosmic Horror genre of fiction. The creator of Cthulhu and many other terrifying dark gods in his novels paints a bleak and decaying view of our world and the Universe. Today we'll examine what it might imply if that nihilistic and grim view of reality was correct.

Gods & Monsters: Space As Lovecraft Envisioned It (Narration Only)

Science Fiction often shows us aliens and human living among one another in space, but how realistic are such portrayals and what sort of accommodation would extraterrestrials need for their environments? We will also ask if humans and aliens could live together, possibly even marry and have hybrid offspring.
