Sam Harris’ Crusade Against Free Will


Nonfiction

Date Published: March 19, 2022

Publisher: Biochemical Press

It’s the 10th anniversary of Sam Harris’ Free Will, one of the most popular books of the past decade written on the free will debate. Harris’ well-deserved reputation as an author, intellectual, and social commentator has afforded Free Will exposure that books on the subject rarely enjoy. The 10th anniversary of its publication makes the timing right for a no-holds-barred critique of determinism and Free Will’s take on determinist doctrine. The moral implications of the free will debate have gained renewed urgency from scientific findings that the belief in determinism leads to cheating, aggression, and other immoral conduct. Are We Really Biochemical Robots? delivers an unsparing blow to determinism and its circular premises, reliance on selective evidence, and moral equivalency.


Topics include:

Why science findings claiming to support determinism do nothing of the kind.

Why determinism’s number one premise, causation, is conceptually and scientifically unsound.

Why relativity theory and quantum mechanics laid determinism to rest decades ago.

Why moral and personal responsibility can’t exist in a causal universe.

Why determinism renders our criminal justice system useless.


In perhaps its most unique contribution, Biochemical Robots reaches beyond the confines of Free Will’s discussion to expose the fundamental flaw at the heart of determinist doctrine – the self-contradictory nature of determinist truth claims. Determinism receives its final coup de grâce in Biochemical Robots’ closing pages. The reign of causation is given a eulogy that’s long overdue.

Colette’s a sweet angel in need of saving, and like it or not, I have a hero complex. Marrying her seems like the right thing to do. Then my sometimes lover, Aidan, finds us together. The hurt in his eyes nearly guts me.

My club knows I’m bisexual. I’ve not hidden it from them. Doesn’t mean I’ve flaunted it in their faces either. So when I decided to claim Aidan and Colette, I’m not sure how it’s going to end. All I know is they both need me, and I need them too.

With human traffickers after Colette, a possible traitor in the club, and more chaos than I can handle, I do the only thing I can… I run with my new wife and husband. Once I figure out who wants Colette, I’ll do whatever it takes to destroy them. Until then, I’ll keep her safe, and Aidan too. Because they both mean more to me than I realized.

 

WARNING: Surge is part of the Hades Abyss MC series and contains bad language, violence, and content some readers may find difficult to read. Yes, Surge is bisexual, and therefore there are sexual situations involving Male-Female, Male-Male, Male-Female-Male, and Male-Male-Female sex.

Bax always fantasized something remarkable would happen in his life. So when a decrepit man with glowing purple eyes offers him a ring intended for his estranged father, Bax accepts.

The ring speaks to Bax in a dream, tempting him with a vision of a powerful djinn. Desperate to make his fantasies a reality, Bax unleashes a creature called Ifrit, but soon learns this djinn isn’t what the ring led him to believe. Feeding off the depths of his subconscious, the sinister demon fulfills what he thinks Bax wants by manipulating, threatening, and murdering. With everyone he loves in danger and a trail of crimes pointing back at him, Bax must scramble to solve the puzzle that will banish Ifrit forever.

Rage's Redemption (Wild Kings MC #7)Rage’s Redemption by Erin Osborne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Keegan grew up fearing for her life and has been on the run since she can remember. When she meets Rage she wants to see where it goes but one intimate moment has her running again. Rage doesn’t know what he did to push Keegan away but he plans to find her and fix it. Finding Keegan he wants a second chance, can she trust him to find a happiness she desperately wants and can his MC keep her protected?

This was good but similar to some of the other books and I didn’t think the chemistry was as good. Overall good story though.

Review: Clearwater’s Hope: Wrath MC by Tiffany Casper

Clearwater's Hope: Wrath MC (Mountain of Clearwater Book 2)Clearwater’s Hope: Wrath MC by Tiffany Casper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

York saw Marley in school and was entranced, he wanted to get to know her but Marley thought he was another kid at her school determined to pick on her. She couldn’t have been more wrong and when she gives him a chance she finds the love of her life. They marry young and York has signed up to join the Marines. They both know this will be difficult but believe they will get through the times ahead, that is until Marley finds out he is killed in action. Years later she finds out he wasn’t but he does not remember her at all. How do you handle seeing the man who owns your heart but staying away at the same time?

I am enjoying this series but the one thing I will say is there is some flow issues. This one Marley is told to stay away from York because he has gone through so much but then they are all together the next moment and then it goes back to her staying away. Overall though the story itself is entertaining. I liked York’s character and felt for Marley. Each story in series gets a little bit better.

Reece had a thirst for the adrenaline rush that came with taking risks. He’d avoided paying the price for most of his push of the envelope until he met one person that used his lust for fast cars, wicked weapons, ditching school, and beautiful girls to trap him in the most seductive ways. Someone he least expected put her life in danger to save him from himself, and he wouldn’t waste her sacrifice. Reece would use the anger fueled by the strikes to an innocent to start the beginning of the turn of justice that will change the course of his life. He hoped his family could forgive him for the deal that put a target on their heads.


Read other books in the Vigilant series: Insatiable Darkness, Caged Fire, Unbreakable Darkness, Scepter of Fire, Break the Darkness, Rebel of Fire, Sword of Darkness, and Blade of Fire (end of 2022).

Clearwater’s Fire: Wrath MC (Mountain of Clearwater Book 3)Clearwater’s Fire: Wrath MC by Tiffany Casper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Garrett knows he needs to find a tutor for his daughter Cree who is struggling in a couple of classes, but the candidates that show up only see his cut and looks and do not seem to interested in tutoring. His frustration is building until one of his MC brothers suggests his sister. Garrett is willing to give it a shot and is pleasantly surprised when she only seems to want Cree’s attention. It’s not long before Garrett begins falling for Valerie but when Cree’s mother who has never been in the picture, comes back sending her son all hell breaks loose. Can he keep his family protected?

I really enjoyed this one. Garrett was pretty gruff in the other books and I liked that Valerie is not fawning all over Garrett, he has to earn her trust. Look forward to the next book.

Review: Trusting Maverick by Emily Rose

Trusting MaverickTrusting Maverick by Emily Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Maverick agrees to do an errand for his brother he ends up at a bookstore and meets Gwendolyn Hearst who blows him away. He asks her out believing she might be something special and Gwen agrees. The only thing is Gwen does not trust easily, she is her sisters caretaker and from experience most men do not want to come second in her life. Maverick is different though and goes about proving it on a daily basis, but Gwen is hiding a secret and will Maverick be able to trust her once he finds out?

This was really good. Maverick’s story was what I hoped it would be. Loved Gwen’s sister Ellie, she is a delight and I thought the way Maverick engaged with her was wonderful.
