31 October 2025
Livestream discussion blending gaming and philosophy. We start by exploring the lore and morality of Divinity: Original Sin, then dive deep into questions about ethics, age, and the value of life, from trolley problems to utilitarian dilemmas. The chat evolves into a nuanced debate about modern UK politics: Reform voters, centrism, socialism, and how people get misled by political narratives. Honest, unscripted, thoughtful conversation with moments of humour and reflection.
