@disagreeableme.bsky.social wrote a detailed review of my paper and raised some really important questions! They also explained parts of my theory in a very clear manner, even better than I did! I’ll think about this and write up a response soon. Thanks so much for this! 🙏🏻

I've just submitted a complete book manuscript to the publisher. A liberal and mystical reimagining of the traditional religions of the West. Hardest thing I've ever done. I shouldn't complain, though, because it's going to be a bestseller.

You might think from the name that panpsychism is the belief that bread is conscious. And you’d be right.

In the UK, you can be branded a terrorist in law even if you don’t cause, or intend to cause, fear. Our laws are designed to associate non-terrorist acts with terrorism so that they elicit stronger negative reactions & so hasher punishments seem justified.
