        @sapinker I always had the nagging feeling Nagel was an implicit dualist. Seems explicit, now, with a massive survivorship bias.

        @sapinker It seems Mr Pinker's tweet doesn't reflect the careful consideration Mr Orr's review provides. Perhaps Pinker should reread it.

        @sapinker The limitations of Nagel's views scarcely justify triumphalist materialism.

        @sapinker Nagel's doubts on the inclusion of philosophically vital matters in science can't be dismissed. BUT Teleology does not help w/that

        @sapinker A long time ago I read Nagel and found his works reasonable. Thank you for correcting my perception.

        @sapinker What do you make of Conway Morris' work on evolutionary convergence & possible teleological implications? http://bit.ly/WUqduZ
