I’m a big fan of Akira the Don’s work—bringing philosophy to the masses through music. I would never have started exploring philosophy if I hadn’t stumbled across his music.
I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
Woaaa... I didn't even know about Meaningwave! Sounds like a really dope sub-genre of lofi. From the description I found:

Oh awesome! Thanks so much for offering up this list.
I've been listening to Songs About Discipline and really digging it. Hopefully I'll absorb some of these samples and get more motivated to make my own lofi tunes haha... who knows, maybe I'll dabble in Meaningwave too.
Aside from Akira the Don, I will absolutely explore the rest of your suggestions here.
And FYI in case it wasn’t clear, all of my suggestions were from Akira the Don—those albums I listed included the names of the people whose talks/lectures/interviews/works he sampled.

And hey, if you’re more into the lofi side of things and don’t care for the lyrics, every album has a corresponding instrumental version too! 😊
