Episode 29 – Understanding free will with Dumbledore & Sachin Tendulkar (4 min)

Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Do we humans have free will?
Can we really choose to act?
Do our choices matter eventually?
Is there an easy-to-understand answer to these questions?

I delve into these questions in this short and meaningful episode via a quote that, for me, defines the legacy of Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies.

I also take the example of an interview that Harsha Bhogle did on Sachin Tendulkar a while back.

I think this is a very moving intersection of two seemingly dissimilar topics to drive home a point about free will that I find to be very important in our day and age.

Do I do all of this any justice?
Only one way to find out.
I’ll see you in the playground.
Until next time.
Peace out.
