Great stuff, Heath, and if I may piggyback a bit on your thread, if you listen for 5 minutes or so, beginning at the 12:50 mark, your thoughts on Trump's free will might be thoroughly upended!

Spoiler alert: we're at the mercy of our neurobiology, our life experiences, the nutrients we had in utero, our ancestors, the environment they inhabited, and a whole host of other variables, recent and distant.
