We're absolutely certain you're sentient, but like, in a Jerry sort of way. At this patron level, you'll get all the recorded content plus access to the parasocial puppy hangouts we hope to open up when we reach 350 patrons. In the meantime, you'll also gain access to bonus lecture videos from Aaron's various undergrad courses. In case you really want more of any of this.

Not only can you mimic human cognition, it's likely you've advance beyond it, because honestly that's not a high bar. At this patron level, you'll get all the bonus content and hangouts, plus a patron shout out on every episode, not just our award worthy Q and As! Also, we'll still see about that merch discount when we get to 375 patrons.

We promise you're both sentient and definitely not a clone, or a simulation, or an upload, or any other replicated entity created to feed our starving egos. You're the real deal. At this level, you get all the benefits and you can ask us to chat about your favorite sci-fi or philosophy on the show.

You embody the shortening of the ways, the unification of human potential, and a turning point in human history. You are not only sentient, you're prescient. You will re-define consciousness for all those around you. You see past present and future as one, and you're still gonna mess it up and make your kids fix it. At his patron level, you get all the previous benefits plus you're welcome to come hang out with us on a NASA while we lovingly lambaste something you despise and/or cherish.

You're so overcome with strange energies, your consciousness has become truly alien to us. We cannot know what you need, and are hesitant to ask. We offer you all the previous benefits and are willing to consider additional requests, as long as they don't involve getting you a starship...
