I loved the latest episode of A Starstruck Odyssey so much I'M OBSESSED

With the awakening of Gnosis into this sick ass techno mage android body with the soul of humanity's first tentative steps into AI, and having the crew debate, well. If we've been given all the power in this universe with the convergence of life and tech in our hands, a being that only wants to help and capable of executing all commands...

What do we do with it?

Is it even our right to SAY what to do with it, because it has now gained autonomy?? But also we have it's willfully given trust and a responsibility in what shape this being takes, because it looks to US in example

This crew is so wild, but all manage to be the perfect foils for a story like this. I feel like that round table really put the heart of this season right in front of us: What is personhood? What does it mean to have a will, and what does it mean to have that will chained to greedy, relentless industry??

I am also completely and truly obsessed with the fact that, after the crew debates for a bit that huh. If we could ask for one thing to change the universe for the better, what should we do...? OF COURSE!!

UNIVERSAL DEBT FORGIVENESS!!!!!!!!
