Through insightful reflections, the discussion delves into how factors like family background, gender, and race significantly impact one's opportunities and successes. Aarish challenges listeners to consider the extent of their control over decisions and the differences between self-determinism, free will, and agency. Join us for a deep dive into the complexities of personal agency and the forces that influence our paths in life.
