Ali Mattu and the Missing Moon | Thanksgiving Rerun!

That's Absurd Please Elaborate

Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans! Super-belated one for those Canadians too, eh! And, for the rest-of-the-world… Happy Thursday! To give ourselves a little break to spend with our families on Trace’s favorite holiday we’re re-airing a very early episode of the show. Eat some food, tell your friends you love them, and we’ll be back with a new episode next week!

In episode 6, Julian explores what would happen to a world without a moon, Trace performs a pedagogical project pertaining to placentas, and ✨ special guest ✨ Dr. Ali Mattu tells the robots it’s OK to feel feelings.

QUESTIONS

Trace: "What happened to placentas and umbilical cords in the past" from Dr. Mattu

Dr. Ali Mattu: “Can robots love” from ChatGPT

Julian: "What would the world be like if there was no moon?" from Trace

Do you have an absurd question? Maybe it's silly idea you had, a shower thought about the nature of reality, or a ridiculous musing about your favorite food? If you want an answer, no matter the question, tell us!
