Ep 84- Jacob's Last Waltz & Persona 5

Today’s episode is bittersweet as it marks Jacob’s last as co-host.
To give him a proper send off, we’re diving into a topic he’s been
eager to talk about- using mind control to make people stop doing
bad things, in particular in the video game, Persona 5. Is
altering, or even completely changing, someone’s brain, a morally
appropriate way to stop people from hurting others? If so, what
acts justify it, and who decides? What does mind reprogramming look
like as punishment in Babylon 5 and for Prof. X?

Jacob is stepping down as co-host, but he will remain a supporter
and occasional guest of the show. He’s had a great run and brought
so much to podcast that I’ll forever be grateful for. Please join
me in paying tribute to Jacob by sharing a favorite memory of his
time, or just thanking him for being a part of this.
