Philosophers In Space - 0G198: Orville: New Horizons episode 5 and childhood gender autonomy

If you had told me 10 years ago that we'd be having this level of Star Trek adjacent content AND it would be getting super serious into issues of gender affirming care for young individuals AND AND Seth McFarlin was in charge, I probably would have been a bit nervous. But trust me, don't be nervous on this one, now that they're not under the thumb of Big Fox, they can get woke and explore the identity universe together. So today we're covering ep5 of the New Horizons season of Orville, and discussing how it reflects our current discourse on Gender Identity.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - MONEY REIMAGINED: This Year on the Political Radar – Crypto

This episode is sponsored by Near.


Legislative steps we're taught in civics class are only a small part of what it takes for a bill to become a law. The process of strategy negotiations and long-term thinking for future industries is complex. In addition to balancing huge agendas, lawmakers and their teams have to navigate a complex regulatory environment, all while paying attention to polling data. According to a recent study by the Crypto Council for Innovation, those who own crypto will vote for candidates who support crypto.


"Money Reimagined" hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren speak with Alex Sternhell, founder of Sternhell Group, and Brett Quick, head of government affairs for North America at the Crypto Council, to discuss the importance of crypto in this legislative season and the upcoming midterm elections.
