Welcome to episode 13 of Despite the Limits. In this episode I talk about choices, decisions, and consequences. This idea came from my reflection of the decision to evacuate from Aransas Pass on the Texas coast to escape the potential impact from Hurricane Beryl.  

I explore some of the philosophy behind making decisions, why it can be difficult, and why making hard decisions is ultimately good for us.
