from Very Bad Wizards · host Tamler Sommers & David Pizarro

David and Tamler want to go old school and discuss a classic Frankfurt paper on free will. But do they want to want that? Are they free to want what they want to want? Are they free to will what they want to will or to have the will they want? And if that's not Dr. Seuss enough for you, shouting "FUCK" increases pain tolerance but what about shouting "TWIZPIPE"?
