We've been talking about free will a lot lately. This conversation is a follow-up to our interview with Robert Sapolsky.
This year we will record our 1000th episode...WTF. We've been making the show for 19 years. Have you looked at a picture of yourself from 19 years ago? I was almost a baby back then. We are planning something special to celebrate. I'll keep you all updated as things progress.
I choose to say that I hope all of you are doing well. Than...

Hey Patrons! Did you hear about the alien mummies in Mexico? Listen to this episode if you want to know the truth behind the claims.
Thanks for supporting the SGU. We've been educating people about science and critical thinking for almost 2 decades. We really appreciate your continued support as we try to bring some reason to our misinformed world.
Have a great week!
