In this episode of The Cognitive Dissonance Podcast, we discuss whether free will exists or not, the implications and consequences of either option, discussions of morality, agency, and even the nature of reality. We also discuss complex systems and Plato's theory of forms. It is a deep yet necessary dive into what it means to truly have a human experience. Enjoy.
