"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

David  Mitchell
“People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.”
David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

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

George Orwell
“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
George Orwell

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
