Episode notes

Pansychism is the idea that it's impossible to get a narrow scientific explanation for the richness of subjective experience. Dennett and strasson are both analytic philosophers, so i guess like that matters. It matters whether their term as baked experience out of their metaphysics. I think they just think we made a mistake of baking experience out by defining things the way we did,. And they just want to bake it back in but im which is fine, except that it's not experience in the way that that word means.

It’s the topic voted on by our beloved Patreon patrons, panpsychism! David and Tamler delve into the resurgent debate over whether consciousness is the fundamental stuff that makes up the universe.

Are there any stakes to this debate or is it purely terminological? Plus – we answer some last-minute questions from listeners on dissertations, Ukraine, pseudoscience, and the music from "The Shield."
