One of the greatest thinkers of our time.
There is a lot of love in this room, and wisdom :) Thank you for posting this!
I came here for Barry Stroud. #barrystroud
Oh yeah, Searle is pretty cool too.
Thank you very much manwaring!
1:37:50, very funny and well-observed.
John Searle is so underrated. While everyone is falling for Dennett's reductionism, he keeps everyone honest. The Chines Room argument is a knock-down, drag-out argument.
Dennett is a great thinker.
Leonard Peikoff is good too.
Why the hell are people marking this comment down? There are genuine arguments against Dennett's reductionism, in no way is Searle an idiot for rejecting it.
Dennett is a great philosopher. Human brain is just a computer. Reductionism is right.
@dianep123 If anything, your comment fits Searle's accusation that the only people who tend to disagree with his philosophy (biological naturalism) are those who dogmatically adhere to old, traditional philosophical terminology and categories. The only reason why you think the homunculus is ridiculous is that you keep calling it the homunculus. This is an ancient term which has no relevance to Searle's philosophy. He simply claims that consciousness is ontologically irreducible.
Maya is beautiful.
Searle is wrong. The brain is a computer.
oh here we goo :D
