Are we free to act as we want to act? If so, how does that work in a mechanistic universe? Scott and Jamie have a very interesting discussion on the various definitions for free will, along with the compatibilist position, namely that a deterministic universe and free will are completely compatible.
In "Spin the Wheel", Scott and Jamie surprise each other with burning questions on "The Overlap of Religion and Politics" and "Methodological vs Philosophical Naturalism".
As further study, Scott recommends the book "Elbow Room: The Varieties of Free Will Worth Wanting" by Daniel Dennett, and Jamie recommends "Philosophy of the Mind" by Edward Feser.
