Un-Assuming: We can't build a new world on the beliefs that made the old one
by Karen Phelan
As AI increasingly replicates human thought and behavior, understanding ourselves becomes more urgent than ever. Using the ancient philosophical method of dialogue, host Karen Phelan leads discussions with her guests that examine human nature, the systems we create, and the beliefs that shape our society. We don’t claim to have the answers, but through open dialogue, insight, and inquiry, we invite listeners to see the world in a new way, hold dialogues of their own, and, ultimately, find their role in creating a better world.

Ep 3: Do people need to work?
Join guests Jeannie Coyle and John Schuster as we discuss the nature of work. For many, work provides a purpose and an identity. Yet, many jobs and even professions are disappearing with automation and AI. Some governments are experimenting with UBI to compensate for the lack of jobs. But is work solely about earnings or do people need work to have happy and productive lives? And does the type of work matter?

Ep 2: Is lying part of human nature?
We tell white lies all the time. We construct fables and myths to make sense of the world. We currently complain about a post-truth world, but have we ever really been truthful? Guests Julie Winkle Giulioni and Charles Feltman join Karen for an exploration of lying, whether truth and truthfulness are attainable, and what we can do to be better.
