somebody asked me to transcribe one of the voicemails we listened to in this episode
"Okay. First time caller, never time listener. Spotter of your sign strolling through Iowa City from North Carolina. I think that - I think that free will is a - free will is suspicious, at best. An illusion, at medium. And a hysterical, tragic farce at most likely. I think that it's my opinion that, kind of around every corner, from that flag in the dirt, here I am, this is who I am. I am the - solely responsible for my bootstraps and nobody else's. The collection of every single decision I've ever made. You know, the indivisible me. Right around the corner from kind of every instance of that, is, uh, like a shadowy acceptance or acknowledgment that something else has the steering wheel gripped on our behalf. We are but Maggie Simpsons holding a steering wheel unattached to a drive chain and unattached to wheels, being piloted by Lord Marge. And we see this in funny, soft, kind of interesting ways. But what do I know? Or, oof, there but for the grace of God go I. Or, *sigh* we just gotta hope for the best. Or... I don't know. Kinda, every church thing. And I think most of us kind of live one foot in the free will pool and one foot in the 'of course I don't believe that' pool. And, you know, if you lock your knees for too long you'll pass out. We just sort of shift our weight from one foot to the other depending on what we've got going on."
