When @philosopher70 and I used to argue, it was a true battle of wills – with very little grace on either side.
Thankfully, that's not where the story ends.
We'll be talking about that (and more) in our AMA next week. We hope you'll join us.

Just wrapped up an excellent class session on Philip K Dick's novel A Maze Of Death. I think short term, I'll be doing some writing about the imaginary religions Dick develops in his stories and novels. Maybe longer-term, some videos on that specific topic.

In Thomas Hobbes' De Corpore ch 11, he analyses what we mean in attributing "identity" metaphysically to various things. Here's a Sadler's Lectures podcast episode discussing that!

One of the best concerts I've been to was when Andi and I drove out to Ohio a few summers back to see The Cure, one of her absolute favorite bands and one I really like too. It was pouring rain as we got to the actual venue and walked the mile or so in, but what a show!

Here's the first in a set of core concept videos on Alan Turing's article "Computing Machinery And Intelligence", this one introducing his Imitation Game. Later authors will reinterpret it in various ways as a "Turing test." The original is a bit different

Here's the latest episode in the Stoic Heart podcast. Andi and I discuss how we drew upon Stoicism to deal with my recent trip to the emergency room, some major surgery, and the less-than-ideal (let's say) conditions in the ward before and after surgery
