On this day in 1929, an all-white male jury found Mary Ware Dennett guilty of violating the Comstock Act. She had written a sex education pamphlet, “The Sex Side of Life,” and her crime was sending “obscene” material through the mail. #WeTheMen

Lovely retrospective for Dan Dennett.
The late Daniel Dennett was born on this date in 1942. After his passing last spring, we put together a special retrospective episode with his friend and admirer, Jenann Ismael from @jhuartssciences.bsky.social: www.philosophytalk.org/shows/daniel... #PhilSky #philosophy

Lovely retrospective for Dan Dennett.
Since this topic is both hilarious and also really important, working on a piece headlined "Richard Dawkins and the Claude Delusion."
Naive realism like that of Dawkins and Daniel Dennett naturally ends up in philosophical dualism.

This thread by @timnitgebru.bsky.social deserves a lot more attention. Really we need to be looking through all the TESCREAL, Edge Foundation connections.
John Brockman was the literary agent for Steven Pinker, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Jared Diamond, he was a key Epstein nexus.

I think Dennett basically right in "Consciousness Explained" and everyone mostly just misspecifies the problem.

isn't this basically what daniel dennett believes
the problem with the chinese room metaphor is that it explains why a certain process DOESN'T constitute understanding or consciousness, but doesn't explain what DOES constitute understanding or consciousness. without the second thing, impossible to say we're not all chinese rooms of some description
What are your criticisms of the Chinese Room metaphor? (Or Sanskrit or Klingon or whatever language you don’t speak/read)

Some of their greatest hits are those like Nick "Blacks are more stupid than white's" Bostrom taking the stage to tell us about so-called "superintelligence", and other eugenicists we discussed in this paper: firstmonday.org/ojs/index.ph....

The Sirrush! The Great Dragon of the Lost World!
Fish-eater. Man-dragger. The King with Shimmering Scales. The One Before Whom All Give Way. Mound Digger. The Fouler of Grain.
These and more are its epithets, but Sirrush is the only name one needs to know.

Doch das atheistische Paradies zerfällt. Raucher & Alkoholiker Hitchens stirbt an Krebs. Harris findet Folter vertretbar & fantasiert von der Notwendigkeit atomarer Erstschläge gegen den Islam. Dennett ist als Philosoph nicht unterhaltsam genug und dann ist da das lästige Ding mit den Frauen. 11/X
