Discussing the life and work of legendary Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky with my consistent guest, Eli Kunisch. Deep-diving into our thoughts on the man and his perspective on what it means to be human. We also discuss the work of commentator Sam Harris, the notoriety of Jeffrey Epstein, and other relatables, down the rabbit hole.

My beautiful wife and I respond to the Weekly Intellectual episode about Jesus. We discuss Jesus in the time of Covid, idealism in the time of non-ideals, and Christ-followers through time up until today.

Have you thought deeply about the distinction between Free Will and what might be called Determinism, Predestination, or simply Destiny? Eli and I deep-dive into this topic in Part 1 of a Compatibilism series. 

In it, we discuss the thought of Sam Harris, Steven Pinker, Robert Sapolsky, Jordan Peterson, Friedrich Nietzsche, David Hume, and John Calvin. We look at Free Will and Predestination in the biblical narrative, as well as the Free Will-Determinism dichotomy of modern science. 

My first solo episode (without a guest), where I rant for 30 minutes about things that have been on my mind. Eventually it all leads to Whole-Picture-ism and why that is necessary in today's world. Humility is a focus point as well, and I discuss how both concepts fit into my vision for an upcoming book.

Dakota Patton joins me to discuss the life, impact, and legacy of Kobe Bean Bryant, in our lives and around the globe. RIP to him, Gigi, and all those lost in the helicopter crash on Sunday.
