The McKelvy Scholars will host a discussion led by Olivia Barney ’21 and Aidy Ung ’21 on Sunday at 6 p.m. Email the group for the Zoom link. Background for the talk:
Let’s discuss human decision-making as it pertains to individual and collective influences. We want to explore the reasons we decide what we do and how it impacts others around us. Where do you fall on the free will vs. determinism spectrum? Do you believe everything is as you make it, or is there a larger force creating the path for you?
