To get where we’re going, we’ve got to know where we’ve been.

In this first episode, I discuss my philosophy of living through the lens of predetermination and free will, and then I wander down Memory Lane to discuss the impact that both disease and healing have had on my sense of identity — and how that has evolved, and why — and then examine how culture has turned identity into a collective experience to subscribe to rather than an individualized awareness that is ever-evolving.

After setting the groundwork, the episode concludes with a rundown of where you can expect future episodes to go from here.
