The OxPod is back! A warm welcome to our new producer ROS and to our returning guest – Luther R. In this episode, Rick and Luther discuss the neuroscientific basis of determinism, "pre-scientific" psychologists, and the psychoanalysis of tap water.

Luther joins Rick once again to discuss psychology, meditation, and the connection between professional c-sections and that one scene from the movie Alien.

The audio quality has been upped on my end, hopefully it makes for a more enjoyable listening experience.

You can find Luther under the name: @luthersonline on Instagram and Youtube.

Mentioned during the show was a 6-month free student subscription to the Waking Up meditation app. Find it here: https://app.wakingup.com/scholarship?options=1

Fortunately, the audio quality on my end is lacking, leaving vast room for future improvement.
