TBD
Is it really possible for us to choose other than we do? And, if not, why should that matter?
This series explores the concept of 'determinism', and whether it holds genuine implications for our everyday lives and societies. We'll touch on the themes of moral responsibility and generosity. We'll hear from many who've been heavily involved in these debates, as well as others who are merely stakeholders on the basis of being alive.
FYI: A few bonus episodes with 'extended interviews' to be deployed in the coming weeks.

TBD
BONUS: The Miracle Determinist
Here's a relatively brief conversation with an anonymous contributor I met while doing street interviews at the beginning of the 'TBD' project. Significantly, out of 100 informal interviewees, this eloquent lunch-goer was the only one to declare specific interest in determinism as a worldview. Over just ten minutes or so, she's able to impart some fantastic ideas related to justice, judgement, 'forking paths', and how determinism might exist alongside our experience of consciousness. "Just who was that masked philosopher?", I bet you'll ask!
