Alexander Stoddart is not only a brilliant contemporary sculptor but also a fantastic person. Agree with @boys_nicholas
Nicholas Boys Smith@boys_nicholas
These are pretty thin but in the current atrocious state of public procurement & civic architecture, thin is pretty good. Alexander Stoddart, the sculptor who did these, is (by far) the best sculptor in modern Britain. I hope they use him …

The great Hudson Valley School artist, Frederic Church, built a wonderful and unique dwelling in upstate New York in the 1870s. Olana, as it is known, has an extremely tasteful new visitor centre to mark Church's 200th anniversary and I would encourage everyone to visit

@dioscuri and I were thrilled to be joined by @anilkseth for the latest episode of our AI podcast. The conversation was a deep dive into Anil's very interesting views about consciousness, including his scepticism about the possibility of AI consciousness. (1/2)

Grateful to @SebastianSeung for highlighting Ralph's incredible essay. The study of consciousness desperately needs more mechanistic tools, and this kind of research is the standard bearer.

A thread and article about consciousness that's well worth reading. An interesting angle is to criticize certain definitions of consciousness by using mechanistic explanations of behavior based on the connectome.

Is this microscopic worm sentient? It’s a tough question! Increasingly, however, neuroscience is providing insights into the physical correlates of consciousness at the scale of individual neurons, and we should be excited about what it has to offer. A thread and and article.

Had a very in depth discussion with Joe Schmid @majestyofreason about philosophy of mind, why it looks like we have to choose dualism or consciousness denial, and why the causal closure argument, at any rate, is not a good reason to favour the latter youtube.com/watch?v=1x8Hkb…

Ancient statues were originally painted. Historians have created hideous reconstructions, purporting to show how they looked.
Were they really this ugly? I argue the answer is no, and that the reconstructions are a form of "trolling".

Just watched this discussion between @soulsciencemin and my masters supervisor Stephen Priest (Oxford) on existentialism, metaphysics, and theology. Probably the best intro to Priest's thought on YouTube. Open a bottle of vin rouge ordinaire and enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=PtfihQ…

New version of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on Dualism is now live!
This update was a huge job, and there’s still plenty I’d like to improve in the next version, but this will have to do until 2030.
