Stefan Molyneux podcasts about philosophy based on logic and objective reality. His interests are in the application to questions of ethics and politics, and in particular to promoting his libertarian cum anarchist views.
I think he's recording his monologues (over 270 half-hour shows!) primarily during his drive to work each morning...

You must be Mike's friend before you can comment on this Fave.That was fun. I hit psychological reductionism as well.
I was dead. D-E-D dead. Taking the quiz gave me a bit more compassion for someone who decides to have their decaying mind modeled in silicon, but it did nothing to reduce my interest in buying a portable Tesla coil so's I can go kick robot butt.
Psychological Reductionism for me as well...which is a bit strange, I admit.
Where do you think most Catholics would end up?
Without going into too much thought about it, I'm fairly certain that these choices follow along with Catholic teaching, although I must admit to being slightly confused for a minute on the second choice. Strictly (although it's changed a bit in the past 100 years or so, I think) Catholicism doesn't even allow you to cremate your body because when Christ comes again our bodies join with our souls in heaven. So, I'd say that letting your brain be replaced with silicon would be just as bad as cremating your body.
That's my take anyway.
"You chose:
Round 1: It's the spaceship for me!
Round 2: Let the virus do its worst!
Round 3: Let my body die!
Your choices are consistent with the view that the continuity of the soul is essential for personal survival. Your first two choices showed a desire to keep your physical body alive. Yet your last choice showed a willingness to jettison this physical body in order to save your soul. So presumably, you only valued the continued existence of your body because you thought it housed the soul."
