Body or Soul?: Introduction to Come As You Are

What IS our human-ness? Is it the SOUL? Or is it the BODY? What is it that reminds us that we aren't supercomputers and that AI-generated bots aren't human? Amy & Tommy dig into that question as they open up Emily Nagoski's Come As You Are for in-depth discussion. Amy confuses the beloved San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen with an artist at the paper, Warren Goodrich. No matter. We just gotta keep on talking.Mentioned in this episode:Maybe Happy EndingHomo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari"My AI Loves Me Better Than Anyone Ever Could" from Where Should We Begin with Esther Perel"We Got AI Boyfriends" from Dire Straights with Amanda Montei and Tracy Clark-FloryFOUND! First Love short stories selected by Gay Head, featuring "EPICAC" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski, Ph.D. Herb Caen Magnificent Sex by Peggy J.
