As the twilight of the 20th century melded into a dawn of technological wonder, David Pearces voice rose, gentle yet insistent, amidst the clamor of emerging biotechnologies and philosophical quandaries. In our journey through this sleepcast, we glide over the serene yet profound landscape of his thoughts, where the reduction of suffering holds a luminous beacon against the shadows of existential dilemmas. Pearce, with both the precision of a scholar and the passion of a visionary, invites us to contemplate a future finely rewoven to alleviate the inherent pain of sentient life. Let us drift into a realm where such boundless compassion promises a horizon forever softened by the tender hands of human ingenuity.This episode is hosted by Ashley Johnson.
