Forgot to resteem until this morning - oops!

Part of why I have a soft spot for Jackson is that he came to my uni to give a talk on consciousness, and we had a beer afterwards - he seems like a genuinely nice guy - but that's true of pretty much everyone I've met from ANU. He was also the honours supervisor for a friend and former student of mine, which I thought was pretty cool.

I nearly wrote my PhD on Chalmers' approach to the hard problem, as he put it forward in The Conscious Mind. But it was too late for me as I'd caught a bad case of Wittgenstein and ended up writing 85,000 words on why Saul Kripke was wrong about linguistic meaning.
