Is Sam Harris Wrong About Determinism?

from The Vancrux Podcast - Host Jeevan Matharu

Sam Harris argues that free will is an illusion and that our thoughts and actions are predetermined by prior causes. But is he missing something crucial? In this episode, we challenge Harris’s determinism by asking the key question: Can we control our inputs to improve our outputs long-term? By exploring how deliberate habits, choices, and environmental factors shape our brains and behaviors, we uncover a powerful argument against pure determinism. 🔥 Useful Links 📘 Become a Person of Value by J.S.
