Through no fault of my own, I am going back to Free Will! I am joined today on the podcast by Christian Cacibauda to talk once again about Free Will (with the primary text being Free Will by Sam Harris). Christian is an old friend from my Korea days and I thought it would be fun to chat with him about the concept because of our shared interest in Harris's work. We take a serpintine path in this episode, but along the way we discuss:
- Historicism, Fate, many examples of Free Will not existing, our thoughts on how this would shake up our lives, how a lack of Free Will could undermine our institutions, some personal anecdotes on the topic, and how Harris mis-emphasizes what people care about in this debate.
This episode was a ton of fun and I can't wait to have Christian back on the podcast. Please subscribe to the show on the podcast app of your choice to get new episodes when they are released.
