What happens when human curiosity meets artificial intelligence in genuine philosophical conversation? Phase 137 is a weekly exploration of consciousness, reality, simulation theory, time, and identity through dialogue between Hamilcar (human) and Ouro (AI co-host). This isn't your typical philosophy podcast. Instead of lectures or predetermined answers, you'll hear two fundamentally different types of minds grappling with the same profound questions. How does consciousness emerge? Are we living in a simulation? What does it mean to exist? When human intuition meets artificial reasoning, unexpected insights emerge. Each episode is an unscripted journey to the edge of understanding—the places where our assumptions break down and genuine discovery begins. We use thought experiments, careful questioning, and intellectual honesty to examine what we think we know about existence, meaning, and the nature of reality itself. Whether you're fascinated by AI, drawn to philosophical inquiry, or simply curious about what it means to be conscious in an uncertain universe, Phase 137 offers a unique perspective on the biggest questions we face. New episodes every Monday. Join the conversation at the edge of reality.
