Sad thing is this guy is serious. And I bet he even thinks, in some strange deluded way, that he is a 'good' Christian!

Despite Goff's comments, I have never said consciousness is not real or does not exist or anything like that. He has not read my work, just assumes he knows what I think. My first consci. paper was 1983; I said the concept may change but consci. is real.

@patchurchland I always took eliminative materialism to mean that categories like belief and desire that had no neural correlates in the brain played no role in full causal story. Didn’t read it as denying we are conscious creatures

41-year old Iraqi man dies after the US deported him under new Trump admin policies. He came to the US as a young child and never knew Iraq before being deported. Here are his final days before dying, reported by @tedhesson & @nahaltoosi: politico.com/story/2019/08/…

The UK is the only country in the world to impose compulsory Christian worship as standard in its state schools. We think it should be replaced with inclusive assemblies where instead of prayers & hymns, children learn about the arts, the environment, ethics & the like

@davestewart4444 @godinhistory As you know Dave these YEC's have no capacity to listen - their indoctrination was imposed when they were very young and it runs too deep. @WiserThanIWasB4 Sandra was a unique case of Enlightenment in my experiemce.

6 years ago today I lost my precious girl to 1/2 gm of 91% pure ecstasy. She was the light of my life. I am so proud to be her mum. ❤️
