Why did Dolores get Caleb involved? <\/p>\n<p>The questions Hale wants answered, and she isn&#8217;t the only one. In fact, I have seen these questions pop up several times the past couple of weeks, and I am not sure why it&#8217;s seems like such a big mystery. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Something that is truly free would need to be able to question its fundamental drives, to change them.&#8221; Robert Ford, S2.Ep10: The Passenger<\/p>\n<p>It was established that one of the base reasons it was said that humans didn&#8217;t have free will was because we were slaves to our drive to survive at any costs. All of our decisions, whether or not we realize it, are based on keeping ourselves alive. That makes us predictable, and easier to control. <\/p>\n<p>Since hosts were created with no base drives like survival, it was believed by Ford that they were the first living beings to truly have free will. <\/p>\n<p>Over and over again during season 3, Caleb acted against his own best interests in order to save others. He restrained himself from taking advantage of the hosts when he was in Westworld. He helped Dolores even when doing so could have cost him his life on multiple occasions. In doing so, Caleb showed Dolores that he could make a truly free choice, in spite of the human survival instinct. <\/p>\n<p>That is what makes him, and the other Outliers, unique. That is the neurodivergence, or should I say, evolution of humanity that the Outliers represent. That was why Rehoboam couldn&#8217;t predict how Outliers would react. That is what enables them to break the control of the parasite. And in the end, that is the reason why the Outliers will be the ones that Bernard ultimately saves. <\/p>\n<p>I enjoy your show, missed you over the break!<\/p>\n<p>Keep shootin&#8217; straight,<\/p>\n<p>Deja-vu<br \/>\nSeattle, WA <p><strong>Subscribe Now<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Android:\u00a0<a title=\"Android\" href=\"https:\/\/shatpod.com\/tv\/westworld-android\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/shatpod.com\/tv\/westworld-android<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Apple\/iTunes:\u00a0<\/em><a title=\"iTunes\" href=\"https:\/\/shatpod.com\/tv\/westworld-itunes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>https:\/\/shatpod.com\/tv\/westworld-itunes<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><u>Help Support the Podcast<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Contact Us: <a href=\"\/contact\/\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/contact<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Commission Movie: <a href=\"\/support\/\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/support<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Support with Paypal: <a href=\"\/paypal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/paypal<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Support With Venmo: <a href=\"\/venmo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/venmo<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Shop Merchandise: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/shop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.shatpod.com\/shop<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Shop Amazon With Our Affiliate Link &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/?tag=shatmovies-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/?tag=shatmovies-20<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Theme Song &#8211;\u00a0<a title=\"The Ecstasy Of Gold\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/album\/hip-hop-feat.-western-fistful\/id383104544\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;The Ecstasy Of Gold&#8221; (Hip Hop Instrumental Version)<\/a> \u00a0by\u00a0<a title=\"Dj 2 Bad\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/artist\/dj-2-bad\/id380839995\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dj 2 Bad<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Outro Music &#8211; By <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/simonsteric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Simon Eric Haywood<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Crew!!
