@ @LitProf Uebrigens ist eine der allertollsten Sprechstimmen auf Hoerbuchaufnahmen Orwells zu hoeren. Down and Out in Paris and London koennte im Zusammenhang von Heart of Darkness erwaehnt werden als Beispiel einer Art Dark Humors mit, natuerlich hinzuzufuegen, und nicht ohne, heilende Mileid, nicht?

Orwell jetzt? Ja, natuerlich. Super! Machen Sie bitte irgandwann mal was mit Burmese Days oder Down and Out oder the Road to Wiggam Pier !. Wahrscheinlich was bei Animal Farm schon gemacht, oder?

I am curious about your thoughts on free will , particularly Robert Sapolsky version of free will

@LitProf 3 ай бұрын

He doesn’t think we have free will, so I think he’s in serious error

yeah sorry for my phrasing, I watched his lecture series when I was like 16 , pretty interesting even though I don’t fully agree with his argument a lot of what he says makes sense

@Totallyfine29_ To say that our decisions are materially conditioned is obvious to everyone. But to the point of denying rational thought? To rejecting freedom and virtue? That is the battle between the humanities tradition and the human sciences.
