@WiringTheBrain By the way, Kevin. I recommend you check out @SDMumford's & @ranilillanjum's work: https://t.co/vW5mtteExe Getting Causes from Powers. It's the sort of work relevant to our pursuit and gives you what you won't get from, Judea Pearl's accounts of causality.

@keithfrankish @WiringTheBrain @Philip_Goff @infovoy_v2 @hf47vbVtv4tgpG4 @isacdaavid If we need to be experiencers for experience or the illusion thereof, then that'a quite an important and interesting feature of the universe. And there might be more such features hidden. Finding them I dubbed the hard problem of metaphysics. https://t.co/Wk8f95aj1R

@michael_nielsen I'm not sure Peter Gray's "Psychology" came to mind. Caught me by surprise. Great clarity, I suppose.

"There is no such thing as philosophy-free science; there is only science whose philosophical baggage is taken on board without examination." —Daniel Dennett, Darwin's Dangerous Idea, 1995

Announcement of The World Behind the World: Consciousness, Free Will, and the Limits of Science. By @erikphoel I have no doubt this is going to be an excellent book! https://t.co/nX7enc7Z9q

@hardmaru Another favorite: "Introducing Quantum Theory" by J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate is a book that has on the first page the line "You will not understand this book (nor will anyone else)".

@infovoy_v2 @Disagreeable_I @petemandik That gets very complicated, as there are cases where there are symmetries in perception when there is brain damage or other issue. A cute book on that is Oliver Sack's "The man who mistook his wife for a hat"... So sometimes things healthy brains can process consciously, damaged… https://t.co/6Pnms82QVK
