177. Marxism, Socialism, Capitalism and Free Will Belief

A discussion of free will belief relevant to science, religion, biology, psychology, and philosophy. Guests and cohosts are welcome to join us. If you like talking about the difficult topics such as no the injustice of god sending people to heaven or hell in the absence of free choice, or other great talks about morality and social issues. This is the podcast you want to listen to and speak with us on!

Wonderful topic lacking focus. The acceptance that free will is a myth doesn’t equal acceptance of  mediocrity, does it? The amount of “like” and “ya’ know” is torturous. Some speakers are too self-absorbed and difficult to listen to. The female is the best speaker of the group but there are too many speakers. Could be a good podcast with some diligence.

Frustrating

Really enjoying the episodes. Thanks, guys.

Great podcast!
