Infants on Thrones

How much control do we really have over our choices? When Tom challenges Glenn's emphasis on unconscious influences, a spirited disagreement opens into a surprisingly vulnerable conversation about free will, personal agency, trauma, and the power of self-awareness.

Glenn, Tom, and Jake explore the tension between neuroscience and willpower, drawing on Sam Harris, David Goggins, learned helplessness, and their own experiences navigating life after Mormonism. Can we recognize the invisible forces shaping our behavior without surrendering our ability to choose? And can we actually strengthen that precious space between impulse and action?

A candid, funny, and deeply human exploration of what it means to take the wheel of your own mind.
