Videos, podcast, and community-- To see who we truly are, and to become more ourselves: more aware empowered agents, being humans together; To fulfill the profound desire for connection and intimacy: the need to know others and be known, loved, and needed in return; To cultivate more meaningful relationships and bonds; To escape loneliness, isolation, and individualism; To develop your hierarchy of values and priorities, and embody it in the world; To revitalize and build communities that embody our highest ideals and wisdom across generations; To advocate for the beauty of humanity and life in the face of anti-humanism; To overcome being institutionalized by the state and corporations; To turn from the never-ending emptiness of the pursuit of success, wealth, status, and power by knowing what enough is; To develop meaning and purpose by acting intentionally in the present. Amen. Amen. This is the way of being humans together.

In this episode of Being Humans Together we explore the paradigm shift from the widespread acceptance of determinism to human agency or the ability to choose. We discuss both theological and scientific philosophies about determinism and rebuttal them in turn. Then we explore the range of physical limitation and constraints on free will. We conclude by explaining the myriad ways that we do indeed exert our agency or will to choose and act, from eye contact, to thoughts, to actions. And we emphasize the importance of exercising and growing our agency to improve our lives and our world.
