I disagree with @seanmcarroll about pretty much everything, but we've had loads of really productive discussions. Here I chat to @CosmicSkeptic about whether Sean slightly misunderstands one central argument against physicalist views of consciousness. Link below and in bio.

Nowhere in the New Testament do we find this idea. Team Trump are rewriting Christianity.

JD VANCE: There is a Christian concept that you love your family and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens, and then after that, prioritize the rest of the world A lot of the far left has completely inverted that

Ever wondered why boomers on median salaries could easily buy a house whereas people on median salaries these days struggle?

The only time in history we had decent living conditions for ordinary people was when we taxed the very rich. These two things are connected.

I've been awarded £178,087 to work out if the universe is conscious. Any idea what I should spend it on?

My 6 year-old daughter just asked, 'Daddy, how do explain colours to someone who's never seen them?' Oh happy day.

I just got promoted to professor! Main advantage of this is that no longer will every conversation with my mother begin 'When are you going to be a professor?'

This sums it up. We are living in period of history in which people have no idea what philosophy is. That might be okay if people just didn't do philosophy, but the upshot is scientists continuously doing TERRIBLE PHILOSOPHY under the mistake assumption that it's science.
