Episode notes

i think sam harris said on onan episode, like, consciousness is the one thing you can't deny, right? And it's not like, i think of the question, i think we don't even know how to formulate the question properly. But cause it's not really that a say, the scientific world view is inconsistent with the fact that i have consciousness. It's more like its this feeling of justke being very incomplete.

Panpsychism didn't give us river spirits or mischievous sootballs, so this time we go straight to the source - a defense of animism, and in a top 10 analytic philosophy journal. Could a failed argument for the existence of God establish the existence of trees and mountains with “interiority” and “social characteristics”? Tamler wants to believe, but is the argument that'll push him over the edge?

Plus – speaking of top journals, a doozy of social psych article: Is forgiveness better than revenge at rehumanizing the self? Let's check the voodoo dolls to find out. Tamler is delighted by David’s reaction to this one.
