Turtles All the Way Up | Jessica Riskin The idea that living beings have no free will might sound scientific today, but it remains as dogmatic as it has always been.

Turtles All the Way Up | Jessica Riskin The idea that living beings have no free will might sound scientific today, but it remains as dogmatic as it has always been.

Excellent take-down by Jessica Riskin of the extremely misguided idea that science tells us we have no free will. Riskin's diagnosis is very similar in spirit and content to @adamfrank4.bsky.social @mgleiser.bsky.social and my ideas in The Blind Spot. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

Today, we taught Unflattening along with the first few chapters of Strange Tools. They go together perfectly. @nsousanis.bsky.social @alvanoe.bsky.social
