Freedom (part 2)
Freedom (part 2)

Behavioral and psychological "freedom" are couched more empirically inside of the concept of freedom from restriction and coercion, and the natural boundaries and contingencies of everyday circumstance and evolutionary trajectory. That is, freedom might mean freedom from restrictive policy and there is some stuff that we just can't biologically do. Also, freedom for one at the cost of freedom for others is not real freedom.

What Happens When We Die? (part 2)
What Happens When We Die? (part 2)

Today’s episode concludes our discussion about what people believe when they don't believe. We ask and answer the question what we believe happens when we die, as well as polling our patreon supporters. Atheists categorically reject the existence of gods and the practice of obeying any sort of higher power. Abraham defends the idea that atheism and agnosticism are the same. Shane makes some beautifully elegant points about what it all means at the end of the day.

What Happens When We Die? (part 1)
What Happens When We Die? (part 1)

Today’s episode discusses religion, but rather the lack thereof. Atheists categorically reject the existence of gods and the practice of obeying any sort of higher power. How does this develop? Where do they generate their morals from without a bible, torah, Quran, etc? While religion has united people around the world in admittedly prosocial and enriched ways, it has influenced others to commit unspeakable acts of violence too. Perhaps the same variables influence people differently, and maybe there is more to the story.

What Listening to This Episode Says About You Personality

Like astrology and psychics, online personality tests generally use the Barnum effect to trick you into thinking they have something meaningful to say. They're tricksy like that. But they have also been used for extremely nefarious reasons, and in one instance, an implementation that lead to the beginning of the end of democracy in America. Also, we take some personality tests in real time.
