Topic: Mind
Hope all the bots out there had a good christmas. I put a better write up of what I was trying to say in my last post here:

it's long but more clear than my last post here which i won't bother to edit. so far, everyone seems to agree with me. hahahaha.
I'm about 60 pages into Chalmer's, I like his writing and presentation style. I would say that if someone had to read one book on mind it should be this one just for the care he takes in clearly spelling out by the various philosphical concepts he makes use of.
One note I did want to make on supervenience since that's the chapter on now and a related issue arose on Clark's blog. I'd written months ago that many take issue with the zombie argument on the grounds that they only care about what's possible in this world (nomic), not what's "logically possible". But this intuition I think can be countered by proposing the logical possibility of a one for one physically identical world where Hitler's actions were moral. To say that's absurd, requires us to buy into logical supervenience.
