Brilliant

Disclaimer: this paper was entirely Bob's insight and methodology. For me it was primarily a learning experience (and a very enjoyable one)!

Actually I still live in Bristol but am employed in Cambridge. I'm usually around one week in three. Next up on 18 Nov, I'll ping you and maybe we can grab a coffee..

And what's so borked about that starting point is that you have no resources at all for explaining consciousness *discourse* — why it exists or how it manages to refer to anything! You might as well pack your bags and go home because the one thing you can't be talking about is consciousness.

Hi Matt. It would be good to see you in Cambridge some time!

I feel like these bimodal distributions crop up quite a lot in human beliefs/preferences (realism vs. instrumentalism in philosophy being another). Almost like competing alleles.

I like the idea of intelligence as being as much about defining problems as solving them. Intelligence as niche construction.

Solid advice Derek. I love criticism, even when painful. Even bad-faith criticism is almost always an opportunity to improve things.

Mm, brassicas

Finally, some recognition!

Wow. Looking forward!
