Unbelievable?The Mystery of Existence: Why is there something rather than nothing?

Walden Pod46 - Free Will "in the superlative metaphysical sense"Can we be ultimately responsible for what we do? No one denies that we can be the proximate cause of our actions. I made this episode because I wanted to. But being the proximate cause of an action is compatible with determinism – no determinist in their right mind would deny that I made this episode because I wanted to.

This deeper kind of responsibility, which Nietzsche disparagingly called “‘freedo...2022-02-2215 min
