Episode Synopsis

Nervous Habits host Ricky Rosen and long-time friend & professional soccer player / electrical engineer Jeremy Pachter have a fast-paced and comprehensive discussion spanning psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, religion, biology, genetics, physics, and relativity. Ricky and Jeremy address a number of burning topics including: --Whether there is such a thing as free will, and if we are genuinely in control of our actions... --How you would define the concept of "time" to an alien... --Whether there is any objective view on time or is it truly subjective... --Why the present time does not really exist, and ways to combat the passage of time... --Why we fear death, yet we do not fear our pre-natal non-existence, and finally... --Whether the 9 to 5 work day is really the best life.   Where to Go to Get More Information: 1.
