0:00A: Do we have free will? Do we not have free will? You gotta hold the mic if we’re gonna get in the conversation. This is for my YouTube. This is for We Them Media.
0:05B: We Them Media.
0:06A: What do I think of free will? I think free will is -- I think it’s real. You know, I think we get to choose how we see our reality and we get to choose how we respond to our perception of reality. And so for me, you know, like, I can say my purpose is to address this shit that doesn’t fucking work in my life. And I get to choose that. I also get to choose to be a fucking victim and be like, damn, my life sucks. This shit is ass. I’m laying in my bed. And I’m not saying it’s easy to choose something different. Grief is real. We’re in hell, so I struggle with that shit. But I think we have a choice. What about you?
0:33C: What do you think?
0:34B: What do I think? We Them Media, what was your name again?
