    Shamelessly promoting myself because I am two weeks away from thesis submission and need confirmation my writing isn't total garbage: my paper on Reid, Berkeley, representationalism, and scepticism is now out in the Journal of Scottish Philosophy woop

    Doing Cavendish on colour this week, I think she’s about as far from an illusionist as it’s possible to be - she thinks that colours (as experienced by us) are so real they could in principle be felt by touch

    We thought mind sits on top of our bodies and steers it with wires and pulleys But then we read Ryle: “That's ghostly work! Vile!" And now we don’t know how to solve this

    I really like philosophy via limericks. Around 2013 I wrote one about McTaggart: McTaggart said ‘Time isn’t real Despite what we think and we feel. For time you need change, But change, I’m afraid, Falls short of logical appeal.’ (You have to say lo-go-cal the right way)

    Though, as a friend of Berkeley, I’m slightly put out by the fact that Tolkien believes in abstract ideas

    New word I just learnt: Mooreeffoc (coffee room backwards), an experience of suddenly seeing something in a new light (from Tolkien’s On Fairy-Stories)

    Just had this conversation w/ the 9 yr old: Him: I’ve figured out where to go in a zombie apocalypse! Me: Yes? Him: The bookstore. Me: Why? Him (slowly, as if talking to a toddler): Because. That’s. Where. The. Books. Are.

    Immaterialism and tar water, the Berkeleian’s gin and tonic

    For example, some twitter critiques of panpsychism remind me of a letter to Berkeley in which he’s told that the authors friend (a physician) recommended B have his head looked at after reading the Principles

    I think there’s some interesting parallels between the present reception of panpsychism and the early reception of Berkeley’s idealism, the common response (both today and in 18th C) to the suggestion that experience isn’t exclusive to things like us seems to be ridicule

    I would add that some of the contributions to the twitter panpsychism debate are exemplary of this, and I don’t really get it

    The ‘adversarial culture’ that is often found in philosophy is hands down the worst thing about doing it - is on the money
