Now featuring commentaries following episodes of The Weekly Intellectual! We are all on a journey. We seek truth, trying to make sense of the world around us - attempting to understand it's complexity. The complexity within us is not the least of these, and the complexity of the universe's origins can be dumbfounding. Join me as I delve into these complexities through conversation and inquiry, using the tools of reason and faith.

Ep. 14 - Free Will or Determinism? Pt. 1 of "Compatibilism"

Have you thought deeply about the distinction between Free Will and what might be called Determinism, Predestination, or simply Destiny? Eli and I deep-dive into this topic in Part 1 of a Compatibilism series. In it, we discuss the thought of Sam Harris, Steven Pinker, Robert Sapolsky, Jordan Peterson, Friedrich Nietzsche, David Hume, and John Calvin. We look at Free Will and Predestination in the biblical narrative, as well as the Free Will-Determinism dichotomy of modern science.

Ep. 13 - Humility and Whole-Picture-ism

My first solo episode (without a guest), where I rant for 30 minutes about things that have been on my mind. Eventually it all leads to Whole-Picture-ism and why that is necessary in today's world. Humility is a focus point as well, and I discuss how both concepts fit into my vision for an upcoming book.
