Questions is a program Joe Frank produced as part of the series WBAI And NPR Playhouse. It was originally broadcast in 1983.
Synopsis
Joe wonders whether free will exists, cites the opinions of Determinists first, then Existentialists (Jean-Paul Sartre). Because we pursue love, we may behave inauthentically to obtain it.
6:10: A WBAI panel talks to callers.[1] A guy says there was a glut of computer programmers created in the '50s and '60s, then discusses computer crime. The caller paid for a course but instead of a job has an $1,800 debt. A second caller says we've misdiagnosed our problems.
9:30: Joe talks about the significance of the unconscious; a friend with a bum foot had it cured when his analyst attributed it to guilt over his father's death; then the analyst confessed to the murder and killed himself. Later, riding a train, he decides that he can choose different points of view.
12:10: A fellow with a Spanish accent (Tim Jerome?) talks about the abuses of the Arbenz (sp?)[2] regime of Gaboon (sp?). Others dispute the charges.
18:10: Joe says we fall in love with people who have qualities we lack, which qualities make us unhappy with them eventually.
19: Joe says Hegel wrote that our ideas are shaped by the time they are formed, which makes them invalid.
20:10: Joe, a cab driver out in the country, sees a VW destroyed by a collision with a tree, finds the driver, shocked but uninjured, trying to peel the registration sticker off, sees this as how we live: our lives are wreckage; we concentrate on insignificant details.
22: A guy tells Joe that what most people believe is untrue, says that there's no point in arguing. Then a woman says we're ignoring something terrifically basic.
