George's two step refutation is the shortest way of explaining why we cannot take credit or blame for our actions. "For we who appreciate speedily arriving at the heart of a matter, here’s how to disprove any free will argument in two easy steps: 1. Ask the free will believer to give an example…

I start out this episode by reading some relevant things from George Ortega's book: "Exploring the Illusion of Free Will". http://amzn.com/B00DINW91Y George was originally the guy who explained why free will is impossible in a way I could understand. Check out his website for more information....

I am attempting to explain the connection between the belief in Free Will and the denial it is causing about other subjects like Abortion and animal suffering. I also posted a facebook note called "Free Will and Abortion Denial". I am hoping to publish it as another book but even if I do, I want…

Why is abortion such a bad thing? Just as people are ignorant of the many causes that lead them to do what they do, I believe many of them are also ignorant of the effect it has on a society when murder becomes legal. I have talked about the truth of determinism and the falsehood of free will in...

In this episode, I talk about death, graveyards, tombstones, and what I want done with my organs after I am dead. I also explain all the causes that led to my beliefs about death and why it is the end of existence.

In this episode, I read what is perhaps one of the creepiest stories in the bible. The story where Jesus kills a herd of pigs by sending demons into them. Matthew 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of...

This episode is mostly just my rant about what I think of Christmas traditions. The variety of traditions people have cause them to do things around christmas that they would never do otherwise. It shows just how robotic humans are and how unfree their wills are. There are most certainly causes…

I think that the belief in an afterlife is sometimes harmful when it comes with the belief that we must "earn" an afterlife and that somehow we deserve reward or punishment for our actions. This relies heavily on free will belief but at the same time refutes it. If someone is compelled to do...

Trick Slattery commented on one of my facebook posts and gave me some thought experiments. In this episode, I read and respond to them and then talk some more about why I am against abortion. Experiment #1: Imagine, if you will, a world where 50% of pregnancies ended with a baby never being born,...

Not having a free will does not mean that we don't have social constructs of responsibility, standards, expectations, obligations, duties, agreements, or contracts. The fact that we can expect things of people at all is another example of determinism. What it does mean is that these expectations...

A facebook friend asked me what I think should be done in the criminal justice system and what I think of the death penalty. Some things will obviously have to change in the way we think about criminals. We can try to separate and reform them. We just can't hate them or believe that they deserve…

In this episode I read from Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary. He had much to say about it. The truth that we are machines is so difficult for most people to accept. When you look at the machines such as computers, phone, cars, airplanes and others that humans depend on, you will be glad that...

What is the difference between morality and legality? Are they the same or different? Do our beliefs about what is moral tell us what should be legal? Or do our ideas of what is moral come from what is legal? These are big questions and I would like to know what everyone thinks about them.

In this episode I read a page from George Ortega's book: Exploring the Illusion of Free Will. A search for his name on google books will help you find where you can download the PDF file. After that I talked about how I got into the subject of free will and how I originally discovered his work...

In this episode I read the following story from the book of Genesis and talk about how the story presents a supernatural problem if it was true. "1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the…

In this episode, I talk about how I was forced to stop eating meat in order to be consistently pro-life. To say that one species should live while another must die is unacceptable to me. There are enough vegetarians in the world to prove that most of us can survive without eating meat if we have...

Listen to what happens when talking with defenders of free will. If they have a reason for believing in free will, it shows that it was not their choice to believe in free will. It is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. At the same time, it is tragic that people are unable to understand...

Free will is a harmful belief and this is the reason for convincing others that it is false. In this episode, I read some parts from the beginning of the first book I published. The main point of this episode is that none of the things written in the book are original thoughts at all. My mind was…

Free will is of course impossible no matter whether christianity is true or not. However, since christians promote free will, I am having fun talking about how omnipotence and omniscience make free will sound even crazier than it does to an atheist. Either god is in control or he is not. If God…

Chess is one of the most predictable deterministic games there is. Strict rules force players to move in certain ways. Some people are naturally better at playing chess because they have a better capacity to guess what their opponent might do. This is almost like mind reading, but is actually an...

I am tired of people believing that people who commit suicide are selfish and deserve hell. Understanding that there is a cause for everything makes suicide and homicide almost identical. In either case someone is dying. The only difference is that the causes of suicide such as depression are...

Abortion is the main reason that I got into the subject of free will vs. determinism. I came to a conclusion that if free will existed, then it makes little sense to debate about abortion. If people had a free will, then they would just do whatever they do free from all causality. In addition, I...

The concept that we don't choose anything including our gender, skin color, sexual orientation or species means that we cannot pretend we are better than someone else. My mom came home earlier than I expected and so the last point I was making got messed up. The theme of the show is that I can't...

This first episode should be enough to define and refute what people usually mean when they talk about free will. I explain in this video a bunch of things that make our will not "free". Future episodes will cover more about the harm that comes from believing we freely choose things. Anti-choice...
