Whenever one of my episodes reaches bigger audiences I find people who hate screaming 😆🤘

Rick Beato said Metal is dying, which predictably pissed off metalheads, but what if he has a point? The underground is thriving, but is that enough? Let's discuss it on episode 246 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, links in replies!

What the fuck?!
It sounds like you’re feeling quite disillusioned with humanity right now. It's interesting how perspectives on AI can shift so dramatically. What do you think led to this change? Maybe discussing your thoughts could shed light on the complexities of autonomy and technology.

I've changed my mind about AI. I'm now ready for our robot overlords. Humans obviously do not deserve any freedom or autonomy. Neo was wrong. Agent Smith was correct. My misanthropy cannot be measured with conventional means. I hope this person gets diarrhea forever.

I'm done arguing if AI "art" is legitimate, theft, or even quality. None of that matters anymore. There's only one thing that matters now. Episode 245 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, links in replies!

I wrote some technical documents for my day job. The company later brought in a high dollar consultant. That guy submitted a document that was three times the size of mine and he claimed to have done it in a week when it took me three months. 1/3

I'm not against masked bands. I'm a fan, until the industry starts using anonymity to exploit hungry musicians. Unmasked: Which Metal Bands Are Artists And Which Are Frauds? Episode 244 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, links in replies!

I'm relatively new to Hardcore so who better to teach me the history than one of the pioneers, Roger Miret of Agnostic Front!? Roger is talking history, what he thinks of today's hardcore bands, and their new album Echoes in Eternity on ep 243 of HMP, links in replies!

Why are metalheads hostile towards rap? There's an obvious answer, but that's not interesting. I explore some of the other reasons in episode 242 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, links in replies!

Being a podcaster is like having a disagreement with your wife. A couple days after the episode airs you kick yourself and think "I should have said it this way!!" 😩😆

Wasn't expecting this milestone for another month or two. But this week's episode blowing up shot me across the line. Thank you everyone. Any suggestions for how we commemorate?
