We're taking a little summer break, but Jana is still here with a mini solo episode on Pleasure/Pain and the ethics of Jeremy Bentham. Full disclosure: we actually had one more regular episode planned, but it was eaten by Diane's computer after we recorded (truly, the only explanation). Apparently, the robot overlords don't like utilitarian ethics? Which, if you think about it, makes no sense at all. Music by Kevin MacLeod: https://bit.ly/2IMEPjL.
