@birchlse This really is a wonderful and important book. Are you planning to do an official audio version?

@heddamorch I'm looking forward to reading this for its potential implications for moral realism. Thank you for sharing!

New paper on Phenomenal Powers: phenomenal properties necessitate their effects in virtue of how they feel—for example, pain makes us avoid it simply in virtue of feeling bad—and thereby constitute causal powers of the sort Hume denied we experience. philarchive.org/rec/MRCPPT

Had a great conversation with @metaRising on the Waking Cosmos podcast about my book The Feeling of Value, and we also touched on synchronicity at the end! youtube.com/watch?v=5UK7sd…

Here is my recent conversation with the philosopher Sharon Rawlette in which we discussed consciousness, moral realism, utilitarianism, hedonism, transhumanism, and longtermism. youtu.be/5UK7sdR_Duw @SharonRawlette #longtermism #utilitarianism #moralrealism

@robertwiblin Thank you for sharing this Rob! I sense that recognizing the intrinsic value and disvalue of conscious states is a path to a universal ethical system with the potential of uniting our values.

@algekalipso Medium energy high valence. "spiritual" "sub transcendent" Perhaps slightly muted due to lack of any color.

What emotion does this picture evoke in you?

I recently had a very enjoyable conversation with philosopher Toby Ord about existential risk, artificial intelligence, and the future of life. @tobyordoxford youtu.be/SJxOj-7zcWM #existentialrisk #artificalintelligence #theprecipice #effectivealtruism

@DeanRadin It seems my fate is overdetermined.

Who's left?

My new film considers the potential of intelligent conscious life in the far future of the universe. #consciousness #futurism #existentialrisk #transhumanism @algekalipso @webmasterdave youtu.be/a99eHF01ZWM

@AtaraxJim The paper is called Principia Qualia (link below). The part about conscious black holes is in appendix F. opentheory.net/PrincipiaQuali…

@metaRising hey, listened to your interview of Mike Johnson and you mentioned a paper in which he mentions black holes might be conscious. I can’t find the paper, though! What’s it called?

@SethShostak I'm usually skeptical about UFOs etc., but did you see Bob Lazar speak on JRE about his experience reverse engineering ET tech at S4? I thought he was convincing. Should we be looking closer to home for ETI?

@sapinker Your thoughts on the novel as a technology for perspective taking inspired me to think of story as a technology for assuming consciousness in this video about science fiction. Thank you! youtube.com/watch?v=Z-EzI8…

@SamHarrisOrg Being conscious is what makes us a vector of moral concern. I really enjoyed the Moral Landscape and it partly inspired this video looking at consciousness in science fiction. youtube.com/watch?v=Z-EzI8…

@harari_yuval Your idea about a ocean of possible conscious experiences inspired this video looking at consciousness in science fiction. I hope you enjoy it! I love your work. youtube.com/watch?v=Z-EzI8…

@SPR1882 Thank you for sharing this! We discuss parapsychology and psychedelics in the second half of this.
