Show Notes

We go through the history of the Glorious Revolution of 1688.  Marlborough defects to William of Orange.

It’s a long episode because we spend time with the philosophical question of the Fool.  Is the Fool the only free agent in history?  With Camie I question that perhaps our intuitions about degrees of freedom in our actions are wrong or misleading when this issue of the Fool is brought to the forefront.
