Candy Crush Controls Our Lives
A completely made up theory about how candy crush is used as a tool by those who control us, and how it led to the deaths of a handful of Bolivians in 2020 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alfology2/message

Predicting The Future
Can you ever truly know what is going to happen in the future? Who knows more, a horse-racing expert of a clairvoyant? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alfology2/message

What Is The Best Time To Die
It's not as morbid as it sounds... I promise! This week, we look at the best time to die. I predict the date of my own death, work out the best age to pass away, and the best time in history to shuffle off this mortal coil. It is upbeat, I swear! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alfology2/message
Film Allegories
Sorry I missed you last week! I'm back now. C/W - abuse This week there has been some decent internet content about how The Matrix is an allegory for the experience of trans people. So, I bring up an idea about how a British comedy film from 2007 is an allegory for systems of abuse. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alfology2/message

Why You Can't Live In A Computer
I've mentioned this before but it deserves a whole episode. It's a discussion about the logical nightmares of creating a computerised copy of your own brain. Then, there's a bit about Boltzmann Brains which is a mind-blowing theory about existence. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alfology2/message

How Churches Invented Mass Surveillance
An analysis of how tactics such as building churches, inventing the omnipresence of God and confessions led to the perception of mass surveillance for over a thousand years. Link in to how these tactics have now been adopted by more technologically advance governments. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alfology2/message
Do Dogs Have Stockholm Syndrome?
Sometimes things are near-impossible to explain, like this episode. The following flowchart is the best way I can sum it up. Do dogs have Stockholm syndrome > Do they know about death > Do we only suffer because of consciousness > Do we only exist because of consciousness > Can we prevent suffering by proving that we don't exist > If existence and therefore pain can't be avoided, can we do anything to make life better --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alfology2/message
Shakespeare Should Be Banned In Schools
This episode starts with a discussion about the film Blade Runner, and slides into my outlandish ideas to improve the education system. Also a quick apology for uploading an unedited version of the pod last week! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alfology2/message
Feeding Cocaine To Worms
Lol so I uploaded the unedited version, with sneezes, mistakes and silences by accident. I've deleted that now and the cleaned up version is here for your enjoyment. If you listened to the unedited version, please don't tell anyone how many mistakes I make :P This podcast has been lacking weirdness recently. So, today, I explain why feeding worms cocaine would be for the betterment of society (it's a joke, don't report me to PETA). This then morphs into a more general discussion about drug use and eventually a theory about how video games, meditation, drugs and creativity are all linked. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alfology2/message
Почему я не говорю по-русски (Why I Don't Speak Russian)
The news is full of Winston Churchill this week. So, this podcast is about how Winston Churchill is responsible for the fact that this podcast isn't in Russian. It's a history episode about how the British and the Americans had no impact on the result of the second world war. Enjoy! **This episode contains a factual inaccuracy. Operation Mincemeat was actually for the invasion of Italy, not France. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alfology2/message
I'm on holiday, so recorded the podcast while chilling out admiring a view. It is purely off the cuff and unresearched. Topics include whether or not centipedes are left handed, whether your bio-cyborg security guard could beat you at chess and how shouting louder could influence elections. I was interrupted a lot, so it stops and starts but hopefully it'll be a pleasurable enough listen. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alfology2/message
This week's podcast is just a general meandering rant/discussion about the firey thing in the sky that keeps us warm. Its a nice, short episode, which won't take up too much of your day. There's an unexpected interruption and if you stick around, you can listen to me eating toast. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alfology2/message
