  • (442)S16E5 So You're Telling Me There's a Chance?

    I employ the Dumb and Dumber principle to evaluate whether libertarian free will offers up a greater coherence for justice.

    • (441)S16E4 Rush's "Free Will"

      I look at free will through the philosophical lens of the famous rock band Rush. We discuss whether or not their solution to the stupidity of religion offers any hope.

        I look at free will through the narrative of a not so famous Hollywood movie. How we tell and understand stories helps to illuminate what we know to be true about the will.

        • (439)S16E2 Take That, Rewind it Back

          I discuss what I believe to be the most significant problem with free will - the rewind. If choices aren't grounded in the self, but rather, the self becomes what one chooses, then on what grounds but randomness is anyone judged?
