Season 4 Episode 1: Tim Pool's Trolley Problem + A Free Will Debate w/Ryan Lake & Gregg Caruso

Tim Pool has some thoughts about the Trolley Problem, so obviously we had to cover that. The main event, though, is a debate on free will between frequent GTAA guest Ryan Lake (who wrote an award-winning doctoral dissertation on the subject) and philosopher Gregg Caruso (who recently co-authored a collection of battling free will essays with Daniel Dennett). Dr. Jennifer Burgis joins Ben for a segment on Plato's Euthyphro at the end of the episode and then Jason Myles and Dr. Kuba from This is Revolution hangs out in the postgame for patrons.Read Ryan's dissertation:https://scholarship.miami.edu/esploro/outputs/doctoral/No-Fate-But-What-We-Make/991031447144502976Order Gregg & Dennett's book:https://www.amazon.com/Just-Deserts-Debating-Free-Will/dp/150954576XFollow Gregg on Twitter: @GreggDCarusoFollow Ryan on Twitter: @chaospetFollow Ben on Twitter: @BenBurgisFollow GTAA on Twitter: @Gtaa_ShowBecome a GTAA Patron and receive numerous benefits ranging from patron-exclusive postgames every Monday night to our undying love and gratitude for helping us keep this thing going:patreon.com/benburgisVisit benburgis.com
