In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the age-old debate surrounding free will. Are we truly the captains of our own fate, or are our choices shaped by a complex web of unseen forces—biology, psychology, social norms, and even brain chemistry?
We explore these questions by analyzing philosophical theories from thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Immanuel Kant, while also delving into scientific insights that challenge our traditional understanding of human agency. Through historical and religious examples, including the tale of Judas Iscariot and the legal implications of free will, we confront the very essence of what it means to make decisions in an increasingly deterministic world. Join us as we unpack the mystery of whether free will is real or simply an illusion.
In other words, is free will bullshit?
