Welcome to Let's Talk Philosophy. My name is Brett and my focus in the videos I create will be the illumination and exaltation of yesterday's and today's greatest philosophical minds. My goal is to not only convey their thoughts, ideas, and philosophies, but to also give these ideas practical meaning so that you may use them to better your own lives. If you're interested in learning about philosophy and applying philosophic principles to your life, check out a few of my videos. Even if philosophy has never really caught your gaze, you may find after little investigation how seductive and enveloping dialectic conversation can be.

What would a largely deterministic society look and behave like? Would it be, as some imagine, a more merciful and just society, or as some others suppose, a veritable wasteland where lawless immorality, cruelty, and hopelessness reign supreme? In this video I hope to answer this contentious question and to bring some clarity to an otherwise esoteric matter.

Sources: For this particular work I have taken much from the philosopher Spinoza, the psychologist Robert Sapolsky, and the Neuroscientist/philosopher Sam Harris. I have found their insights to be extremely helpful in clarifying my own thoughts on the matter and I encourage you to read or listen to their thoughts on Determinism and free-will.
