Episode notes

I don't like you're more dismissive and worried about intuition than I am but it's true that I do dismiss. Certain certain debates like the Getty or debate as but the reason I dismiss it is not because they appeal to intuition for some other reason. And so what I was going to say is the reason that I went back to thinking of it is as just skin and skull is again not just because I'm picking between two intuitions It's because I genuinely believe that if you have to take one argument it can lead you down. So I think that if you ask me whether to take the internet away or is that my brain I would have I would hold to this.

David and Tamler break down a recent classic in the philosophy of mind: "The Extended Mind" by Andy Clark and David Chalmers. What is boundary of your mind? Is it contained with your body, or does it extend to the external environment--to your laptop, notebook, smartphone and more? Is this a purely terminological question, or one with practical and moral significance? And what is the role of intuition in providing an answer? Plus, Dave shares an email alerting him to the psychological trauma of male circumcision along with an exciting all-natural method for restoring the foreskin (that was stolen from us as infants).
