"LONG overdue, but finally got myself around re-starting it. As is known, it's much more technical than The Experience Machine, but all the more fascinating because of that. The nitty-gritty is indispensible for a real taste of just how powerful and promising PP is. Clark's constant emphasis on action-prediction loops and on integration with enactive/embodied cognition are major pluses here too. Beautiful stuff." Jan 16, 2026 10:01AM

Terry Pratchett
“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”
Terry Pratchett, Jingo

Wilfrid Sellars
“The aim of philosophy, abstractly formulated, is to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term”
Wilfrid Stellars

Daniel C. Dennett
“Philosophers' Syndrome: mistaking a failure of the imagination for an insight into necessity.”
Daniel C. Dennett, Consciousness Explained

Daniel C. Dennett
“If you can approach the world's complexities, both its glories and its horrors, with an attitude of humble curiosity, acknowledging that however deeply you have seen, you have only scratched the surface, you will find worlds within worlds, beauties you could not heretofore imagine, and your own mundane preoccupations will shrink to proper size, not all that important in the greater scheme of things.”
Daniel C. Dennett, Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“Tell me," Wittgenstein's asked a friend, "why do people always say, it was natural for man to assume that the sun went round the earth rather than that the earth was rotating?" His friend replied, "Well, obviously because it just looks as though the Sun is going round the Earth." Wittgenstein replied, "Well, what would it have looked like if it had looked as though the Earth was rotating?”
Ludwig Wittgenstein
