Episode description

Our speaker will be Robert Sapolsky who is a Professor of Biology and Neurology at Stanford as well as the author of numerous books including Why Zebra Don’t Get Ulcers and Behave.  

Robert believes that you do not have any free will.  That instead your behavior is dictated by a complex combination of factors that include genes, environment, hormones, glucose levels, and epigenetic events.  It is complicated, but Robert will argue that there is no little man in your head making the decisions.
