Hi Crew, Love the podcast, it’s truly my fave. I have a few thoughts on the last episode, if you’ll indulge me, but I guess that’s what you’re paid the big bucks for… I’m pretty annoyed with the discussion of “free will” as if it’s even worthy of discussion. Just...
Hey guys! Westworld s3 premiered on the first anniversary of my wife of ten years suddenly passing. She was very much looking forward to that day and was actually the one that turned me on to the Shat Family. Needless to say it was a heavy week but I decided...
Big D’s theory about Rohoboam acting to preserve its existence and purpose in the world seems suspiciously like the same problem HAL had in 2001. Its prime directive to protect the mission to Jupiter at all costs conflicted with the threat posed by its human subjects to shut it down...

Hey guys, Long time no email. Super excited here at the beginning of WestWorld S3. I’m following the pod, as usual, albeit a bit behind. I’m an industrial engineering inspector so, luckily, my work has kept me busy with 13 hr night shifts; keeping up has been challenging. I’m digging...
