Freedom To & Freedom From Transitioning | Sara Higdon | Real Unity | Ep 2

Sci-Fi Futurism, Black Holes, and Aliens Galore | Phillip Carter | Ep 14

Phillip Carter is a writer, comedian, artist, and livestreamer from Manchester, UK. His stories span everything from alien pigeons to the end of the universe, filled with witty characters navigating strange worlds through humor and unexpected insight. In part two of this conversation with Real Unity host Sienna Mae Heath, Phillip and Sienna explore science fiction as a forward-thinking, almost prophetic art form. They discuss the danger and fascination of writing from the perspective of villains, what makes both sci-fi and comedy uniquely unifying, and why dreamers and artists so often challenge authoritarian systems. As conversations about extraterrestrial life move further into the mainstream, they also reflect on the psychology of believing we are not alone—and what that says about human nature itself.
