Robert also revealed to me that he is close to completing a new book entitled Determined, The Science of Life Without Free Will,

title is determined a science of life without free will and essentially the first half of the book is trying to convince a reader.

And then the second half is this gigantic juncture built around the fact that i've thought there's any free will since i was like an adolescent and despite thinking that way i still have absolutely no idea how you're supposed to function with that belief.

How are we supposed to like go about everyday life if anything you feel entitled to isn't true if any angers and hatreds you feel are justified if there's no such thing as appropriate you know blame or punishment or praise or reward and none of it makes any sense and somebody like even compliments you on your haircut and you've been conditioned to like say oh thanks as if you have something to do.

Yeah, determined from the science of life without fruile seems like we can't publish a book these days without a sub title so that's that's it's fantastic well very excited to read the book.
