Episode 7 - Are You Free to Listen to Us?

Mike and Duncan begin the episode with more talk about the whole Gina Carano controversy, which leads into reflections on cancel culture and the curious concept of "microaggressions." There is also some discussion about the ethics of misleading the public about the pandemic because Americans are inherently selfish and irresponsible. The centerpiece of the episode is a genuine philosophical discussion about free will - Duncan even reads some passages from David Hume! The conversation concludes with talk about the new documentary about Patrice O'Neal and how there is no justice when it comes to stand-up comedians being successful.
