Brendan joins Kyrin again but this time out in beautiful nature of Brisbane. No punches are held, going straight into a conversation about whether humans have free will. Also touched upon were: the manipulative advertising of companies trying to maximise profits, Alex Jones and why certain extreme viewpoints can be quite liberating, the world tricking us into working, whether UBI would create bad incentives and reduce human motivation, the love some people have for toiling at their job, realising your true nature when you sit down to meditate and the funny 911 calls that dumb Americans make. As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
