This week, Lolu and Dushun get More Than existential! They talk about the ego of martyrdom, the consciousness of creating one's destiny, the inevitable return to the cyclical state before and after life, and more mind-twisting ideas. There are no definite answers on this episode, but there are tidbits of science fantasy, space speculation and afterlife questioning which may be closer to reality than fiction. Grab your Id, Ego and Superego together for a listening party and enjoy another episode of the More Than Podcast.

This week, Dushun and Lolu grab a recording of an impromptu conversation, including but not limited to topics of League of Legends design philosophy and how Lolu wishes he could replicate it in real life, Dushun's societal complaints and speculations on how to use technology to evolve it and other brain bytes siphoned from the collective consciousness ether.
