The Theology Pugcast

CHAPTER

The Illusion of Autonomy

This chapter investigates the delicate balance between agency and autonomy in the context of personal choices and societal expectations. Through anecdotes from the speaker's experience as a landlord, it highlights the responsibilities that come with true agency, contrasting this with the superficial freedoms of trend-following. By critiquing contemporary notions of individuality and the risks of absolute autonomy, the chapter underscores the importance of connections to culture and family in shaping a resilient self-identity.
