ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Is cognitive empathy moral? Indicative of one’s humanity? Or is it a sloppy substitute slotted in with other Jenga blocks in an attempt to hold hierarchical society, together?

What if the question of free will or determinism was flawed to begin with? What if this is why the question persists? Why it's been debated, for-ever? What if unfurling & reintegrating our understanding shifts the camera lens? And what if the tangential concepts that connect to either free will…
Overt power is easier to identify. What about when power intentionally makes itself more covert, more palatable? What about when power becomes the substrate; infiltrating perceptions, language, thinking & reasoning? When it's deemed "neutral", "inevitable", "human"? When we, as products of the …
