Not understanding these comments. Thought this lecture was incredibly fascinating. Gonna look up more from Dr. Horgan.

The lecturer wants to have his cake (consciousness) and eat it, too (deny it by upholding materialism.) It is a generalized kind compatibilism.

Kinda boring but still a nice overview. I wish he didn’t skip the intentionality section, though.

This talk amounts, at best, to strict nonsense.
