Synthetic Society

What is time? This week Tom talks to Emily Thomas, a philosopher of time and travel, about how time and technology interact.  They discuss how the timeline affects how we perceive time, if going on Twitter is like going on holiday, and the different ways technology might let us have experiences outside of time. 

The pair also give an overview of the philosophy of C.D. Broad and the ideas of eternalism versus growing block theory and the idea of substantivalism and relationism.
