i like black mirror, reminds me of reading sci-fi short stories or listening to old radio shows as a kid. or like twilight zone
not every episode is the peak of philosophy, obviously. but it's entertaining slop that explores (admittedly sometimes simple) concepts that are fun to think about and talk about with non-philosophy-interested people
I recently referenced the zombie episode of Black Mirror where
spoiler
the zombies were actually oppressed enemies of the state in a genocidal campaign
in a discussion IRL about the new Apple VR goggles. My personal conspiracy theory is that one big reason for silicon valley pushing VR/AR is due to money from US DoD to push the technology further. Why set up defense research programs when private companies will happily use the money for profit?
Then the DoD will take that technology and use it in future wars.
It's my personal conspiracy mainly because i have no evidence and have done no research to confirm/deny it
