Season 4 Episode 1: Tim Pool's Trolley Problem + A Free Will Debate w/Ryan Lake & Gregg Caruso

Tim Pool has some thoughts about the Trolley Problem, so obviously we had to cover that. The main event, though, is a debate on free will between frequent GTAA guest Ryan Lake (who wrote an award-winning doctoral dissertation on the subject) and philosopher Gregg Caruso (who recently co-authored a collection of battling free will essays with Daniel Dennett). Dr. Jennifer Burgis joins Ben for a segment on Plato's Euthyphro at the end of the episode and then Jason Myles and Dr. Kuba from This is Revolution hangs out in the postgame for patrons.
