Consciousness Explained Away: Daniel Dennett’s Illusionism and the Theory That Spends Its Own Foundation
When Daniel Dennett died on April 19, 2024, at the age of eighty-two, the philosophical world lost one of the last serious defenders of a position so counterintuitive that even sympathetic readers spent decades trying to talk themselves into it. Dennett argued, across more than fifty years of writing, that consciousness as we ordinarily understand it does not exist.…
Almost 3 hours is too fucking long for a movie. The Mandalorian and Grogu was two hours and 20 minutes, that was do-able as I like Star Wars, Mandalorian, Grogu stuff in general. I heard about this new 'Possession' movie that's like, 2 hours and 50 minutes long. You're telling me there's nothing you could've cut to make that a shorter, better running time? Fuck that.

"Since 2024, the Village of Brown Deer has hosted a game every May, hiding a medallion within the village's 4.5-square-mile limits and sending out clues every few days. In previous years, the hunt has drawn thousands of searchers in pursuit of the cash prize and complimentary meal, sponsored by Café Corazon, according to the village."

This is the kind of house cleaning the US should have been doing 2021-2024. And yes, that means Biden, but I lay the blame at least equally on Congress (who are supposed to be the ones taking the lead on legislating, though few of us are old enough to remember) and the press (who should have made this a national conversation).
