Who Speaks for Humanity? "3 Body Problem" (2024 TV Series) eps. 1-4

The first four episodes of Dan Weiss and David Benioff's Netflix adaptation of Liu Cixin's novel THE THREE-BODY PROBLEM show some promise, but they've burned us in the past so it's hard to get too excited. In episode 307, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they propose humanity's envoy for a first contact scenario, discuss the choice to change Wang Maio into the Oxford Five, learn about a real-life poisoning connected to the show, discuss the Fermi Paradox and the "Dark Forest" hypothesis, and wonder if Ye Wenjie is a true religious zealot.
