161: Drugs and Free Will
Update: 2025-01-19
Description
This week I get back to the heart of the show: drug policy, drug addiction, and drugs. I talk about free will as it relates to the war on drugs, addiction and intoxication, and I dig into genetics, criminal justice, punishment and prevention.
The nonsensical notion of free will, which I've yet to hear defined with any sort of coherence, plays no part in addiction, and our insistence that it does has allowed us to construct a culture that maximized both the occurrence and the severity of addiction.
I plan to do a follow up show to respond to questions or comments you have about this (or any) episode. Let me know what you want to hear.
