Episode Synopsis

Question 1: [1:45] - “Why would determinism preclude free will? Aren't those two ideas perfectly compatible with each other?”Question 2: [37:57] - “What are your thoughts on the advent of social media in relation to the attitudes, behaviors, and rationales of the general population of western civilization? As in, what impact do you think social media has had on the way people live their lives and choose their actions, and would you say it has been brought more benefits, or more unintended, negative 'side effects' to western society?”Question 3: [1:09:38] - "Is university still worth it? Many of my friends and cohorts from high school have gone off to continue their education at university. I'm one of the last not too. My chief reasons are not wanting to are becoming strapped down with decades of debt, getting a degree that will lose its value as more and more people are funneled through education, and finally, not surrounding myself with Social Justice Warriors that end up turning me into another leftist brain zombie. Are these worries justified and sufficient enough reason not to pursue more formal education or do you think there's still value to be gained from a university education?"Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
