Consciousness Explained |
i haven't read this, but i'm reading into the main theory he's proposing there and (when in broad strokes) it sounds consistent with our knowledge of neural activity, however as i read further into some specifics of his theory (and the discounting of the 'cartesian' ones), i don't tend to agree with what i see, for instance:

Dennett argues that there is no principled basis for picking one of these theories over the other, because they share a common error in supposing that there is a special time and place where unconscious processing becomes consciously experienced, entering into what Dennett calls the 'Cartesian theater'. Both theories require us to cleanly divide a sequence of perceptions and reactions into before and after the instant that they reach the seat of consciousness, but he denies that there is any such moment, as it would lead to infinite regress. Instead, he asserts that there is no privileged place in the brain where consciousness happens. Dennett states that, "[t]here does not exist [...] a process such as 'recruitment of consciousness'(into what?), nor any place where the 'vehicle's arrival' is recognized (by whom?)." |
change recruitment of consciousness to recruitment of judgement (into assessing perception) and suddenly (at least in my opinion) that process does exist!
and disqualifying a notion due to infinite regress? i suppose achilles can't beat the tortoise then. |

| More specifically, he did not know that it was possible to add an infinite series of numbers and reach a finite sum. |

For anyone who's interested, my two favorite Ecofeminist Philosophers that quickly come to mind: Val Plumwood and Karen Warren.
I'm guessing no one's interested.
:( |
I am interested.
Public perception of the feminist movement is completely wrong. Many fail to realize there is also more than one school of thought in the movement ( like on the subject of pr0n some are for and others against ).
I have lived with feminist girls and have studied the subject a lot over the years
anyone genuinely interested should listen to this:
Lecture Feminism and The Future of Women
I can share if anyone is interested |

using anything except the tortoise as reference, for example using speeds to estimate location within x time/distance. |

It's merely an example. Feminists will fight topics like "unfair" prices at the hair salon, but when it comes to who gets custody of the child, or who is more likely to be the guilty person; the result favours females.
Feminists seem to have a hard time comprehending the idea that life isn't always "fair". |
On the child custody issue, the reason women are favored is because they have been set up by society to be the "rightful and obvious" child-raisers, that it is their job. As courts become more forward thinking, I believe youll see more fathers given custody, and the playing field will balance out and be a matter of true responsibility, no matter the sex. |
