The Physicist Who Proved Free Will Using Thermodynamics

Hello there,

I have a fantastic episode for you today. This one is with the wonderful, articulate, and gifted Jenann Ismael (a professor of philosophy at Johns Hopkins University). In it, we talk about:

• Free will is NOT a break in causality

• There’s no God's-eye view of reality

• The block universe can’t contain its own perspective

• Selfhood is a narrative integration of memory, attention, and planning

• What consciousness has to do with any of this

If you’re interested in the topics above, you’ll love this podcast.

I want to hear from you in the Substack comment section below. I read each and every response.
