Nervous Habits host Ricky Rosen and long-time friend & professional soccer player / electrical engineer Jeremy Pachter have a fast-paced and comprehensive discussion spanning psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, religion, biology, genetics, physics, and relativity. Ricky and Jeremy address a number of burning topics including:

--Whether there is such a thing as free will, and if we are genuinely in control of our actions...

--How you would define the concept of "time" to an alien...

--Whether there is any objective view on time or is it truly subjective...

--Why the present time does not really exist, and ways to combat the passage of time...

--Why we fear death, yet we do not fear our pre-natal non-existence, and finally...

--Whether the 9 to 5 work day is really the best life.
