SPOILER ALERT!!! We talk about many storylines and plot points in the first season Netflix's adaptation of the 3 Body Problem series.
Our aim for this episode is to discuss the "problems" brought up in this show so that we can address possible "solutions" in the following episode.
What is the actual 3 Body Problem?
Simulation Theory
Fermi Paradox
The problem of lying
Hive mind
Nano Tech
What would you do in Will’s position (would you be a brain in a box)?

Taking inspiration from the Holberg Debate, we tackled the traditional approach to a three person debate (Defender of the Faith, Heretic, Social Democrat) on four specific factors of consciousness and subconsciousness.
Consciousness:
Subjective point of view
Deductive Reasoning
Forward directionality of thought
Semantic memory
Subconsciousness:
Objective point of view
Inductive Reasoning
Backward directionality of thought
Episodic memory
Point of View:
-CPU vs GPU
-Whisper Game
-Jigsaw puzzle race
Forward deductive vs backward inductive reasoning
-Definitions
-Game theory
-placemat maze
-snares/traps
Memory
-working memory
-horse track
-contextualized learning
