This is the unedited version of episode 46. The only thing I have done is put the audio regions in the right alignment, and made it a touch louder overall so it's not too quite to be unlistenable.

AKA GW's big day! Today we dive deep into the art and technique of sound design/editing. GW talks about editing the ETV podcast, dives into compression, different types of audio editing techniques, DAW's like Reaper, and we get super in the weeds talking about K-System Metering.

Today we dive deep into a topic we (mostly Aaron) constantly reference: Moral Luck. We start with the root of the concept from Thomas Nagel's Moral Luck. We then dive into the factors that contribute to it, how it affects all aspects of our existence, and what a world might look like where Free Will as a concept is eliminated.

Guest Jody debates Aaron on Daniel Dennett's position on Free Will. We try to define what Free Will is and how that relates to a determinist philosophical view. We also examine the relationship of Free Will with consciousness.
