(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.) Back home, everything was quiet.

Predictable.

Boring even.

People talked slow, kept to themselves.

You'd be lucky if someone made eye contact

at the gas station.

But here, the city's loud.

Fast.

Alive.

And Freeze High?

Freeze High is something else entirely.

From the second I stepped onto campus, it

was like everyone already knew me.

They smile like they've been expecting me.

Hugged like old friends.

Touched my hair.

Told me I had the right kind of

energy.

What does that even mean?

They're nice.

So nice.

Too nice.

Everything's so open.

So free.

No one's pretending here.

And somehow, that's the most terrifying part.

Back home, people hid things.

Here, they flaunt them.

Here, you're either exposed or invisible.

I'm not sure which one I'd rather be.

Welcome to Free Use High.

So, did you hear about the new girl?

Apparently she's transferring from some town with like

one stoplight and three cows.

She's actually from a town called New Hemlock.

It's pretty significant for its post-colonial history.

Yeah, well, I was heard that she was

raised by a covenant of witches.

Explains the dead eyes.

I heard she was hot.

That's all I need to know.

Well, you think every girl is hot, okay?

You even flirted with the lunch monitor.

Hey, Brenda has kind eyes.

And those massive triple D's.

Okay, but she's like 80 years old.

You guys are pigs.

Oink, oink, baby.

She's late.

Ah, perfect timing.

You must be Gal.

Everyone, this is Gal Richie.

Would you like to say something about yourself?

Oh, um, my name's Gal.

I'm from a very small town.

It's so big here, I got lost almost

twice on the way here.

Um, I like reading and bird watching.

You like bird watching too, don't you?

Wow, you're like a little nature documentary.

Well, I think that's enough with the social

interaction for now.

Let's move on to a different part of

the unit.

Something about freedom and free will.

Are we truly free?

Or are we merely following a path that

has been laid out for us?

Think about it.

In everyday activities and everyday things you do,

have you actually had a free will?

What does it really mean to be free?

What does it mean to be able to

choose?

Think about everything.

Every life choice you've made.

So are we merely following the path that

was laid out for us?

Maybe free will is just an illusion.

A nice one.

That is very good.

Thank you.

That class is exactly, exactly where we will

begin.

I love that.

So are we truly free?

Are we merely following the path?

That has been laid out.

Are we truly free?

Or are we merely following the path that

has been laid out for us?

Think about it.

What does it mean to truly choose?

I want to hear from you guys.

Anthony, thank you for starting us off.

Free will is an illusion and we just

dress it up in varsity jackets and college

apps.

We do as we're told.

Get the scores we're told that matters.

It's just a game.

Some just play it better.

Okay.

Interesting.

Lexi?

Free will is branding.

They say to be authentic, but only in

ways that look good on camera.

It's like they want the marketable you.

Wow.

Okay.

Very interesting.

So what do you exactly mean by that?

I think we fake it until even we

start to believe it, you know?

I see.

I see where you're going from it.

Kind of like the more you say something,

the more you're starting to believe it and

you just start to become that.

Interesting.

Nick, how about you?

Sure.

I think we're like lab rats, just with

better fashion.

You think you're choosing which cheese to chase,

but the maze is already built and there's

somebody watching.

Interesting.

Yes, Kylie?

Free will, classically, is a metaphysical proposition, but

determinism has a strong philosophical foundation.

The illusion of autonomy is comforting, but functionally

irrelevant in a casual universe.

Don't worry.

She always talks like that.

Tony?

What do you think, Tony?

Maybe there is no difference between being free

and thinking you're free.

Maybe you don't need a cage if you're

convinced that the bird is flying.

I see that.

Okay.

Very interesting.

All of you have very interesting and different

thoughts.

How about you, Gal?

I don't quite know what to say.

It's okay.

Take your time, Gal.

There are no wrong answers.

I mean, I thought this was just a

normal class.

I don't see what's going on around here.

I don't think I belong here.

You belong here more than you know.

Truth is, most people spend their entire lives

sleepwalking, but not you.

You're awake.

You are feeling this.

And that means you are exactly where you

are meant to be.

Everyone in this room, they seem strange because

they're not pretending.

They've chosen to step beyond the surface.

And now, so can you.

The thing about freedom, true freedom, is that

it's terrifying.

Because once you realize you have it, you

are responsible for what you do with it.

No more autopilot.

No more scripts.

Just you.

Making choices.

Creating meaning.

That's not easy, but it's real.

So, Gal, I'm not asking you to answer

today.

I'm just asking you to ask the question.

And maybe, maybe, to be brave enough to

find out what happens.

What happens when you stop trying to fit

in and you start setting yourself.

Oh, um, I think I understand now.

I was scared of all of you at

first, but I think it's because you weren't

being fake.

You were just being real.

You weren't hiding behind closed doors or walls

or filters.

Because I think I'm ready to try.

I agree with you, Gal.

I really do think you're ready to try.

I think that you are actually in control

of your freedoms.

I think this is part of free will

that we are talking about.

And I think you're learning how to embrace

it.

You realize that, you know, we're not pretending.

It is just, we're just enjoying life.

Enjoying ourselves, each other.

That is the true beauty of being truly

free.

Whatever comes, whatever feels right, you just do

it.

And that is freedom of choice.

Do you really think that when you woke

up this morning, and you decided to drive

a certain way instead of taking that street

or the other street, it was actually your

choice because you wanted to get here faster?

Or was that just a path that had

already been laid out for you?

Think about that.

And to control those choices that you have.

Do everything that makes you happy.

Perfect.

So we're going to continue with the lesson.

I'm going to go back and forth a

little bit with different lessons because all these

lessons just kind of tie into each other.

So if I ramble on a little bit

about something and then I switch to something

else, just, you know, just go with the

flow.

If I ask you questions, I just want

you guys, there's no wrong answers, like I

said earlier.

So just, I want you to really take

your time.

Think about it and tell me how you

feel about things.

Does that sound good?

Yeah.

Everyone?

Yeah.

Wonderful.

Thank you.

So as I was saying, I did want

to ask you guys some questions.

So let's start off, Kylie.

How are you feeling?

What choices do you feel like you've made

that you think you've been 100% in

control of?

I think I've went full force into making

every decision that I put my mind to.

I want to do something and I do

it.

And sometimes I do it unconsciously.

And I think that's the true meaning of

free will.

Perfect.

I like that.

Yeah, because you're like not giving too much

thought into it.

You're just kind of letting your body go

and just letting it experience it.

Just getting it done.

I like that.

That sounds really good.

I love that.

Lexi, how do you feel about that?

I think a decision that I made was

choosing my major.

The reason that I ended up here, I

was actually going to do computer science.

But when I used my free will, I

realized I wanted to take a different path.

That's beautiful.

I love that.

You decided, you know what, that's not my

path that I thought.

And you were able to change that.

And you switched and changed your mind like

that.

I love that.

Tony, what were you thinking?

I think the life goes through as it

is.

You don't have a choice.

You just do.

You just do.

Okay.

Just don't think about it.

Just whatever happens, happens kind of thing.

Wonderful.

I like that.

These answers are really great answers, guys.

I feel like, you know, I said there's

no wrong answers.

But I feel like these are very insightful.

And you guys are really just giving me

great answers.

I actually did want to hear from you,

Gal.

Because I know you are newer to this.

So I really would love your insight.

A little more insight from you would be

wonderful.

That's some good insight.

I think I'm understanding where you're coming from

with that one.

That makes sense.

You make us think a little bit more.

You know, you're trying to kind of, what

is, what's the term I'm looking for?

You're trying to challenge what I'm saying, which

I like.

That works out very well.

See, that's there you go.

Freedom of choice and freedom of will, free

will.

You're not just going with what I'm telling

you.

You're trying to think of, you know, how

about, there's different options.

Maybe it's not this.

Maybe it's not that.

Maybe it is just the path that we

were, just check some other things out.

Let me read here and see what we

were supposed to do for the homework.

Because I kind of changed things up for

you guys.

And I just kind of threw this out

there since I thought you guys were being

kind of socially awkward or just intense.

But I think, let's see.

I think it's very, very important that we

are all, you know, actually hearing and processing

things correctly.

Like you guys, you know, are actually taking

into consideration what I'm saying and you guys

are actually thinking about it.

You know, and hearing actually is where oral

languages acquire.

So when you hear me explain these lessons

and these things, it's easier for you to

learn and you start dramatically developing these amazing

like language skills.

You know, so it helps.

It helps develop your language to get a

more diverse and more sophisticated type of language.

Do you agree, Kylie?

Because I think you're a perfect example of

that.

So Kylie, you use very wonderful language.

I love listening to you talk.

So how do you feel?

Do you think that's something that by just

hearing others speak in language like that, you've

acquired that knowledge?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, so you definitely, she definitely, yeah.

Yeah, I agree.

Right, being able to just hear all that.

It's wonderful because, you know, that is beautiful.

Through your hearing, you're able to express all

those different things.

Like that's a lot of cognitive abilities and

language skills, you know.

That's how they're fully developed and I love

this.

I love that you understood that because you're

one of my favorite speakers always.

You always have such great insights.

Wonderful.

Let's see what else we want to focus

on today.

Lexi, did you want to give any insight

on that?

Let's see.

Wonderful.

I definitely agree.

There was a few things that I highlighted

in here that I actually wanted us to

go over today.

So let me get a second.

Let me figure this out.

Do you guys have any questions?

About the lessons, about the whole freedom and

free will?

Do you have any questions?

I have a question.

Yes, Lexi.

What does homework do?

I'm not sure if I'm going to assign

homework.

I know you guys signed an assignment like

two days ago.

Yeah.

That, I don't think you want to assign

anything else right now.

But I do want you guys to really

take the time to work on that assignment.

Yeah.

And I'll probably give you guys, today's Monday,

or yeah, you guys had an assignment on

Friday.

Over the weekend.

It's not due today.

No, I'm just going to give you guys

until Friday.

So pretty much give you guys a whole

week.

Okay.

Because I really want you guys to actually.

Yeah, that's perfect.

I want you guys to have the time

to study, find the information, actually, actually research.

I don't want a quick little paper.

I like to get Lizzy with it and

all that.

And I understand it's hard to write.

But this time it's like you guys have

the freedom.

And it's your free will.

You get to choose what you guys want

to write.

Does it have to be long?

This is the thing.

I get that you don't want it to

be long.

But I feel like I need you.

Okay.

This is what we're going to say.

I'm not going to give it an actual

length.

Like, oh, it needs to be three pages

long.

It can be as long as you need

it to be to get your point across

as how you feel and your thoughts about

free will and freedom.

Okay.

Thank you.

So I also, I'm not going to lie.

I also don't want you guys to state

the same thing over and over.

But I mean, that's free will, though.

I understand.

But I want you to actually get some

valid points.

That's what I'm trying to say.

He has a good point.

He has an amazing point.

But what I'm trying to say is if

it's executed properly, then it works.

So if you do want to do that,

that's totally fine.

But when I get that paper and you

guys get a grade for it, it's going

to reflect on free will.

So just remember that.

It is free will.

And it's your freedom of choice.

But at the end of the day, I

still have the final say in the grade.

But I think you guys are understanding, right?

I think so.

I think it's wonderful.

Nate, how do you feel?

You've been a little quiet and I would

like to hear your thoughts on this whole

me letting you guys choose the freedom of

how you guys feel between freedom and free

will.

I don't know.

I do understand the difference, but I think

I just need it to be set in

stone, especially with this coming up.

Yeah, it's a tough one.

Yeah, you missed part of the lesson.

It's been a few days.

Oh, maybe that's why.

Yeah, you might feel a little quiet just

in the beginning.

But you know what?

Maybe you guys can help her catch up.

I think we can do this.

Because it is study session.

I would love that.

Would that be okay?

Yes.

Give her a little recap.

We'll get notes.

I'll give you guys.

If you guys need to take any notes,

just let me know.

And if you guys have any other questions,

you guys can always come after class to

do all of this.

You guys are very strong minded and you

guys know what you like and you guys

know what you want.

So I think that it's very important as

young adults that you guys are able to

make all the choices you want.

And you know, with all those choices, consequences

do arise.

And that does happen.

So you also have to remember, it is

free will and it is a freedom of

choice, but there's also consequences.

But I feel like it's illusion.

All the free will is just illusion.

It's illusion.

Do you think everything is set in stone

and it's kind of like, it's your destiny

for things to happen?

100%.

See, I like how you answered that.

I also agree.

See, so I think...

Whatever you do, it's just a theory of

the powers.

Whatever you do, eventually it's just going to

go the way it's supposed to go.

The way the universe wants it to be.

So you only have so much stay in

your free will and freedom because at the

end of the day, the universe is always

going to do what it's meant to do.

Exactly.

I don't completely agree because I just feel

like, how could we know that?

How do we know whether everything is predetermined

and set for us or versus we have

our own free will, right?

How do we know?

And that's what we're trying to figure out

and that's what we're trying to study.

And it's one of those things, I don't

think it's very black and white.

It's either this or that.

I think there is a lot of things

that are intertwined.

But I definitely have a good, I feel

that Tony's, you know, questioning it and his

theory.

I definitely 100% agree with that.

But I do feel like we do have

some sort of choice.

You know what I mean?

Gal, what do you think?

Because you were agreeing with Tony as well.

You know, I think it's all about perspective.

Like, there's a sense of comfort in believing

that we have free will, right?

But there is, you know, like he was

saying, maybe we really don't.

Maybe things are happening in a way that

it was already set for us.

Yeah, like we literally have no choice.

Yeah, like we're supposed to, it's our destiny

to have this class.

Yeah.

It wasn't necessarily your free will to actually

sign up for your college classes and you

picked that one.

Okay, interesting.

I like that take.

How do you feel, Kylie?

I definitely do agree on that.

I think we're meant to be where we're

supposed to be.

Okay.

And you just kind of just go with

whatever.

Like you can't make a wrong choice.

I think there's so much comfort in that.

Yeah, you just learn and everything, even if

you don't like it, which everyone always likes

it.

Just have a free will.

It's just like if you don't know what

the outcome is, you're still technically making a

choice, but is it a choice that was

already predetermined for you?

Right?

That was already ingrained in like your being

to just follow.

So these are all, this is what I

love about this class.

You guys are always, I think you're going

to find that out, gal, that they're all

very, everyone, they're very, Interactive.

Interactive.

You guys are super interactive.

You guys all get along very well.

You guys all help each other out and

you guys love to take the time to

actually discuss things.

And you know, you guys appreciate and respect

each other's opinions.

You don't just like shoot down like what

Tony was saying.

A lot of people might be like, oh

no, I don't believe in universe things and

stuff like that.

I think free will, but you guys don't

shoot his, you know, his beliefs or his

ideas down, which is wonderful.

You guys all just work together and have

a great time.

And then you're going to find that, gal,

that this team, this group of students is

very, so interesting.

All the things that you're talking about.

Right?

That's why I was thinking like how all

those things, all these different things, how language,

your hearing, the way you're brought up, It

all is intertwined with the freedom of free

will, you know, or the belief of having

it.

But like you said, is it really true?

Is it really, is it really actually happening?

Or is it just supposed to happen versus

it actually being a choice?

I don't understand that.

I can only see how like how it

just got suggested.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That was really good.

And you see, and there's all those different

things.

Would it have ever happened?

Yeah.

Or is it something that because he, you

know, decided to show up that it didn't

happen?

Or because he left his house five minutes

earlier?

Just little things like that.

There's kind of a butterfly effect.

Right.

Yes, you're right.

You're 100% correct.

I love this.

See, this is what I love that you

guys are always questioning things.

You're not just like, okay, okay, Ms. Lane,

yeah, it's free will, it's freedom, choice.

You guys love to question things.

It goes deep in there.

You get deep in there really just banging

out all that information.

I fucking love it.

Sorry guys, we're supposed to say that.

But, you know, I get very passionate.

You're a passionate teacher.

I get very passionate about this because I

love that you guys actually listen.

Oh, she really does.

Tell me who are in the best class.

I think you are doing wonderful and just

you're being so like really expressing yourself right

now.

I wonder if I can help the new

student.

I think you should definitely help Gal.

I think that would be wonderful.

You know what, Gal, give me one second.

Let me just get this out of the

way right here.

I think this book definitely had a lot

of the things that we were just talking

about right now, like the whole butterfly effect

thing versus the freedom.

Yeah, the new girl definitely needs a little

extra help, you know.

I know she's not used to working with

you guys here.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, when I was new, I needed

extra help too.

I think she's in good care.

She has Nick.

She has Tony helping her out.

If she needs Anthony or you or Kylie

to help out, I know you guys are

more than willing to help her out.

So as for the next lesson, I know

I've kind of just been rambling on about

this freedom, free will, destiny.

Things are supposed to happen since you're following

a path.

I know I'm rambling on about it, but

I'm just so fascinated about it.

So I don't know where we should go

from here to a different lesson.

What do you think, Lexi?

You speak pretty good with the theme of

what we've been talking about for the last

few weeks.

Well, I actually had a question about the

syllabus before we get too far ahead.

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

I forgot to go over it.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

No, but it said that, you know, it

looks like classes canceled on Thursday.

Is that right?

Where am I going to go?

So today is Monday.

This Thursday?

I don't know.

I could definitely check the actual college calendar.

So if I could check that schedule and

then just confirm that.

And I'll probably email the higher ups.

I don't have that much to know.

No, I think you're right, because I do

remember in a couple of my calendars that

they sent out to professors, I've seen that

it shows it as a day off.

Right, you guys?

So I can definitely check that.

Talking about that, do you know by any

chance when our finals are coming?

When you guys are going to be doing

finals?

Yes.

Oh, you know what?

I think you're still trying to figure out

the schedule for that.

I think they want to go a little

bit closer, probably I would say at least

another month.

So at least another like four weeks or

so.

So you guys have plenty of time to,

you know, study.

Reach out to me if you want to

reach out to me.

If you need extra credit, if you need

to stay after class and get extra material,

extra one on one time with me to

help you.

You guys have a lot of time.

You guys definitely, you know, I would say

at least get to it within the next

week or two.

If you guys feel like you're struggling.

So Gallen, you might actually want to try

and do that.

Like, I know you're not, I'm not trying

to say you're not a good student and

you're not like going to grasp things quickly.

But I think if you feel like you're

falling behind the next like week or so.

I would definitely have you try and schedule

a meeting with me, a time with me

so we can figure out something.

I think that would work wonderfully.

Yeah, like I said, she'll probably need a

little extra help.

So if you guys, maybe you guys could

both help her out.

I think because a team like with you

both, if you guys are together, you're both

very different.

But you guys like you have different styles

of learning.

Maybe like we don't know what style can

help her like grasp things a little bit

quicker.

So I definitely think.

I use a lot of big words.

Yeah.
