Do We Have Freewill? / Daniel Dennett VS Robert Sapolsky How To Academy 2024-01-14 | Two titans of neuroscience and philosophy come together to debate the existence of free will – a question with profound implications for identity, justice, and the very meaning of life itself.Do human beings have free will?For Stanford neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky, science clearly demonstrates that free will is a powerful and dangerous illusion. Without free will, it makes no more sense to punish people for antisocial behaviour than it does to scold a car for breaking down. It is no one's fault they are poor or overweight or unsuccessful, nor do people deserve praise for their talent or hard work; 'grit' is a myth.But for philosopher and cognitive scientist Daniel Dennett, free will is not only compatible with our current scientific knowledge but justified by it. Free will underwrites our moral and artistic responsibility – and reason and self-control are both real and desirable.Coming together to debate this question for the first time, these two intellectual giants will delve deep into the science and philosophy of the mind and get to the heart of this ancient and vitally important question.Whether you are a philosopher, psychologist, or simply interested in hearing new and profound reflections on human nature, this is an unmissable debate.

GEN Z are too Fragile | Jonathan Haidt on Play, Risk and Social Media. (Part 3) How To Academy 2024-09-22 | Psychologist Jonathan Haidt has become a leading voice in the debate about digital technology's impact on young people's mental health. His research, particularly the findings presented in his book "The Anxious Generation," suggests that smartphones and social media use are having a detrimental effect on children and teenagers. Haidt argues that constant screen time is replacing traditional childhood experiences like free play and face-to-face interaction, leading to problems like sleep deprivation, social isolation, and even addiction. This alarming message has sparked a national conversation, with governments considering restrictions on smartphone use for younger age groups, and parents and schools taking steps to create more tech-free environments for children. Haidt's work raises critical questions about the impact of technology on our youth, prompting us to consider whether we're unknowingly harming a generation through this "uncontrolled experiment."
