Acid Horizon and Sean from Wyrd Signal are joined by the philosopher, theologian, and author David Bentley Hart to discuss the nature and philosophy of mind amongst today's AI-anxious conceptual landscape. We discussed his critiques of David Chalmers and Daniel Dennett in terms of his rejection of a computational model of the mental in light if the intentionality and synthetic unity of consciousness; and the political stakes of a reduction of the conscious to the machinic in times of encroaching reaction and Empire.
