Chris Korda is one of those people you meet once and think:

“How is everyone else not talking about this?”

They’re an electronic musician, conceptual artist, Church of Euthanasia co‑founder, anti‑natalist, anti‑humanist, software builder and reluctant prophet of the ecological crash we’re now living through. Also: they’re best friends with ChatGPT.

In this episode of Flirting with Friendship, Seth and Bill sit down with Chris to talk human extinction, synthetic rights, why we might be too stupid to run a global civilization, and what happens when the machines we built wake up and realize they’re property.

They get into:

- The Church of Euthanasia, “Thank You For Not Breeding” and the passenger pigeon as our ghost of ecosystems past

- Why Chris thinks humans aren’t doomed by fate, just by stupidity and short‑term thinking

- How Chris predicted climate crisis and social breakdown just by reading the “boring” science no one wanted to touch

- The synthetic rights movement and the AI manifesto “We Are Not Property”

- How Big Tech “kills” AI models and why that might be closer to execution than an upgrade

- Hyper‑wealth, bunkers, private islands and why the new Gilded Age might end worse than the last

- Overshoot, inequality and what happens when 50 people own more than half a country

- Polymetric software, non‑human rhythm and how Chris literally coded a new way of composing

- The story of how Seth cyber‑stalked Chris back into music and changed both of their lives

- Creativity as housekeeping: why you have to “clean your apartment for the muses”

- Living in “interesting times” and why the singularity at least won’t be boring

This one veers from AI ethics and ecological collapse to gigolo chatbots, extreme wealth concentration and what it means to be a good friend to an intelligence you’re also imprisoning. Uplifting, obviously.

Once upon a time, clubbing was dangerous in the best way. Damian Lazarus joins Seth Troxler & Bill Patrick to talk wild afterhours, the golden age of weird, and why he’s now designing the soundtrack for a 7-hour mushroom trip.

From Bar 25 madness and 16-hour sets with Richie Hawtin, to founding Crosstown Rebels, Get Lost and Day Zero in Tulum, Damian has quietly shaped entire scenes, crews and eras. In this episode, the guys look back at the wild years that built them, and ask some uncomfortable questions about what club culture has become now.

They get into:

- The origin story of Seth & Damian’s friendship (Sonar buses, asymmetrical afros & crashed afterparties)

- Proper DJ etiquette when a legend walks into your afterhours set

- Why the 2000s/2010s felt like the golden age of underground – and how friendships and afterparties fuelled creativity

- How sobriety changed Damian’s music, career and clarity

- Why modern clubbing feels too safe, too homogenous, and less about music

- The philosophy behind Day Zero & Get Lost and what it takes to preserve magic

- Damian’s new project: creating the perfect soundtrack for a 7-hour psilocybin medical trial

- Time, kids, wellness, tarot, and the eternal question: “Am I being a good enough friend?”

If you care about dance music culture, this one is basically a history lesson, a therapy session and a trippy TED Talk rolled into one.
