terrific is the right word! -- I hadn't known of this.
My favourite paper by Daniel Dennett is "Where Am I?" A terrific combination of philosophy with narrative and humour

Truly sorry about Dennett's passing. A great philosopher, took biology seriously, and a very considerate person as I had reason to know.
RIP Daniel Dennett (1942-2024), a monumental loss to philosophy.

2/3 Msg 1: where covar between traits across species is also phylogenetically conservative, the phylo conservative share should be separately quantified, rather than being partialled out of the trait relationship.

Nice overview of Claudia Goldin's work. Captures the history of feminism, at least in USA.
