I'm 7 years late to this excellent chat between @platobooktour and @robertwrighter. Spinoza comes off sounding a bit Stoic: global community of humankind based on reason; following nature; transcendence akin to the 'View from Above'. cc: @DonJRobertson meaningoflife.tv/videos/3165…

I'm doing a call-in show this Saturday, where I'm planning to drink mushroom tea, listen to music, and talk about unarticulated ideas and unfinished projects.

Come hang out!

Thanks to @oliverburkeman, author of the bestselling time management book Four Thousand Weeks, for deciding that discussing the question of free will with me was a good use of his time. (I think it was: we settled the question once and for all.) meaningoflife.tv/videos/4359…
