Welcome back DOPE-sters for another episode of your favorite podcast!!!
This time we are discussing the contrasting philosophical schools of thought "Free Will" & "Determinism"; in other words we are discussing whether humans have freedom over their choices or if they are part of "The Matrix." We delve into the concepts of fate, soul mates + your soul family, as well as accountability and the responsibility that comes with whatever level of freedom that's allotted- if any. We hope you enjoy this episode and let us know your thoughts and view points on these topics as well! We would also like to shout out the amazing Magiqal Mellow Moms over at Make&Bake and thank them for having us on their podcast this week!
What is Free Will? "Free will is the idea that we are able to have some choice in how we act and assumes that we are free to choose our behavior, in other words we are self determined." - SimplyPsychology.org
What is Determinism? "The determinist approach proposes that all behavior has a cause and is thus predictable. Free will is an illusion, and our behavior is governed by internal or external forces over which we have no control." - SimplyPsychology.org
