228 | Skye Cleary on Existentialism and Authenticity
Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas

But if we brought Robert Sapolsky in here, the neuroscientist who was a previous guest on the podcast, he'd be like, what do you mean making choices? These are all just neurons in your brain. Is that, is that perspective in any way undermining the existential point of view? I think it's raising questions about it, but existentialism raises questions for science as well.
