Confessions of a Sociopath author M.E. Thomas chats with Z about free will, creativity, brain function, art, music, and other topics. M.E. Thomas posits especially in the last 10 minutes that the most free will we ever will experience is not in the present moment when we're deciding, or in the unknown future, but when we go back to the past in reconcile ourselves with what happened in the past, coming to understand why things happened the way they did (even in terms of deterministic language, e.g. our genetics, our upbringing, our socialization, our limited choices in the situation), and trying to see the world and ourselves more accurately now than we did before.
