About this listen

Ortega’s unique passion for and leadership in publicizing the truth about human will comes across throughout the book’s devastating, yet accessible, explanations of why free will is impossible, and in its descriptions of the harm free will-belief causes us personally and societally.

What also sets Ortega’s work apart from refutations by others is his strong recognition that humanity’s overcoming the belief in free will is an historic evolutionary leap in human consciousness. Comprising edited transcripts of the first episodes of his revolutionary TV series, another of his book’s defining characteristics is the reiteration of free will refutations and of other salient material.

Listeners who lean toward free will belief are advised to not discount the utility, in fact the necessity, of such review. The emotional barriers to accepting that free will is impossible are powerful, and will not readily yield to an unrecapitulated presentation of the evidence. Ortega recognizes that unparalleled history has already been made as the age-old belief in free will has fallen to science, logic, and experience.
