This week on Alfalfa, we explore the age-old debate of free will versus determinism. Starting with light-hearted banter about a recent Vegas trip and current geopolitical events, we transition into a deep dive on whether our actions are truly our own or influenced by external factors. Drawing on insights from renowned philosophers like Spinoza and Descartes, as well as modern thinkers like Sam Harris, we examine personal anecdotes, philosophical theories, and even quantum mechanics. This episode also touches upon recent antitrust actions against Google and the potential impacts of upcoming US elections.
