    Episode 6 - What Does It Mean To Think

    Andrew is joined by Darren and Doug to discuss dualism, but the conversation rapidly turns to what it means to think at all. What do we know about thought? How does that apply to free will? Can sophisticated software think, and if so, does it make decisions like humans? The answers may surprise you, and the boundaries may not be as clear as you "think".
