I went on Miles K. Donahue's channel to talk about arguments against physicalism! youtu.be/MUBuBkGr9uY?si=JEck…
I’ll never forget taking my daughter outside after learning to walk. She was looking at the trees, awkwardly stepping forward, and screaming with delight at every single thing she saw.

“Privacy” is a handy term for gesturing at a feature of consciousness which seems obvious and important but whose existence immediately closes off a large part of the logical space of physicalist theories. 1/6

“Erm this is REAL Christianity!”
Okay so “real” Christianity is evil. It makes normal people evil. Good riddance.

this book hit young men so hard because you’re in middle school being forced to read the absolute worst most torturous irrelevant things imaginable for multiple years and then out of nowhere they hit you with 200 pages of “kid has to survive in the woods with an axe”
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is developing a movie adaptation of "Hatchet," Gary Paulsen’s 1987 young adult survival novel.
• The film will be written and directed by Derek Cianfrance, best known for films such as “Blue Valentine” and “The Place Beyond the Pines.”
• Per the synopsis: “Hatchet” follows “13-year-old Brian Robeson, who is stranded alone in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash with nothing but the hatchet his mother gave him.”
• Paulsen later expanded the story into a five-book series that included “The River” (1991), “Brian’s Winter” (1996), “Brian’s Return” (1999) and “Brian’s Hunt” (2003).

Somewhere in the world there is a man who has never lost a single argument because everyone who talks to him eventually realizes it's not worth it, and he's come to conclude he must be brilliant

You can tell when someone has actually understood the hard problem etc. because they’re like a timid abused child when it comes to Philosophy of Mind questions, curling up in a corner and hoping no one asks them to speak decisively. Confidence comes from the untraumatized.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
