Geoff's Miscellany

When I heard that Daniel Dennett's new book on consciousness was released, I didn't care. He has a tendency to argue in this format:

1. Here's an idea it isn't worth explaining from the past.
2. Here's my alternative that uses sciency words.
3. It cannot be explained by current science, but with enough scientific advances, it obviously will be explained.
4. Logic, etc.

I'm hardly exaggerating. It's like Sam Harris, but less endearing because it isn't podcast format and he doesn't look like Zoolander. I stopped reading Dennett's books when I recognized that pattern.
