About this listen

This episode examines the debate between determinism and probabilism, asking whether reality is governed by fixed causal laws or intrinsic chance. Tracing the shift from classical clockwork physics to quantum indeterminacy, it explores ideas like the block universe, chaos theory, and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.

The discussion connects these models to questions of free will and moral responsibility, and distinguishes epistemic randomness from ontological randomness, revealing why modern science leans toward uncertainty—without settling the mystery.
