Metaphysics is both irresistible and absurd. It promises to reveal fundamental reality, yet makes no progress, forever circling back to millennia-old questions. Metaphysics cannot progress like an...

Did you know there are 350 different theories of consciousness??? Keith Frankish and I discussed with Robert Lawrence Kuhn his paper and interactive website exploring them all. I fail to see how anybody could have something more important to do than watching this.

A problem arises when commentators write about ASD and ADHD as if they are trendy mental health conditions. They are not. Both are neurodevelopmental conditions. https://t.co/9kzSP3gtCm
