Lionel tackles society's third rails, demanding definitions and accountability. This broadcast debates the forbidden fruit of racism—from viral controversies like the "Cinnabon woman" and the N-word double standard, to defining dislike epistemologically. Then, Lionel explores the thorny ethics of physician-assisted suicide, "death tourism," and the "slippery slope" risks of MAID laws in New Jersey and Canada, dissecting the complexity of expanding eligibility to mental health. Finally, we balance the sanctity of life against accelerating the inevitable, touching upon organ harvesting, probate law, and the dark philosophical question of whether sentient AI could ever have a soul.
