Am I the only philosophy professor who uses a cat as clickbait?
Philip GoffAre the past and the future real? Is pragmatism a valid philosophy? What do I think of Alfred North Whitehead's panpsychism? Great questions in the month's AMA, and you can meet my cat Kiara!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4lC...

I did that with Starmer. I've learnt my lesson. We need to start the pressure early. it doesn't bode well when your leading cabinet posts are "Labour Together" figures from the right of the party.

Pseudo-Philosophy = Scientists making crude philosophical claims about consciousness/free will with no knowledge of: (i) nuanced distinctions between different views (ii) arguments developed over decades in academic literature (iii) conceptual tools for evaluating them properly
Ásgeir BergMaybe there's a reason the word "pseudo-philosophy" isn't bandied about much.
So it's just about how we define words now. I'm a 'physicalist' if we define that terms as broadly as Galen Strawson does. But the 'physicalism' I think we can rule out is that one that says fundamental reality can be completely captured in the terms of physical science.
Kevin MitchellBut why take “physical science” as the only kind of science?
