Episode 22: Time Shuffling, Finger Sausages, and a Brain Made out of Paper.

Published: Feb. 1, 2015, 2:24 p.m.

After two physics episodes in a row Richard Brown and Pete "Macho Bluff" Mandik dial the way-back machine to the Golden Era of Dinosaur Travel and kick out some old-school philosophy of mind jams. In part 1 ("Time Shuffling") they sort some stuff out about temporal counterpart theory and so-called \u201creal identity.\u201d In part 2 (\u201cFinger Sausages\u201d) they tackle the transparency of conscious experience and phenomenal acquaintance. In part 3 (\u201cA Brain Made out of Paper\u201d) they discuss the extended mind hypothesis and it\u2019s connection to panpsychism and meditation (with a mild de-rail on journal refereeing best/worst practices).
