Podcast: The Zombie Broccoli
Our “Beer with BMSIS” podcast for October features a conversation with Dr. Lucas Mix titled “The Zombie Broccoli: What Aliens and Souls Can Tell Us About Ourselves“.
Astrobiology highlights the common origin of life, but this can raise difficult philosophical and spiritual questions when contrasted with some of our unspoken assumptions about value and meaning. Lucas Mix draws on his insights from biology and theology to explore concepts that skirt at the boundaries between ourselves, animals, vegetables, and the rest of life’s community.
