These colours remind me of the Morestran ship approaching Zeta Minor. Could this be Season 13? The red in the centre could be the red of Doctor’s jacket as worn in the first two serials of S13.

Hi, yes it was added last Tuesday. Thanks!

So far they haven’t replied

Yes, all the bookazines and special editions as well as the regular issues of DWM. It was advertised as being available digitally but it hasn’t er, materialised

Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be available digitally.

Love Blues and Roots!

Love the Yeti one with Snowdonia in the background

2/2 The conscious organism initiates its own actions but is causally constrained by everything that came before. I agree with you that the interplay between our conscious and non-conscious parts makes us who we are but I don’t think any free will is to be found there.

1/2 Conscious organisms have access to information unavailable to non-conscious organisms, enabling better predictions and more nuanced, fine tuned responses to their environment. Whilst any such response may be highly characteristic of that particular organism, it must still be causally determined.

Stunning!

In split brain patients, when one hemisphere does not have access to information available to the other, it confabulates. All brain do this. Conscious processes don’t have all access to all unconscious processes. Can we be sure we truly understand our intentions, let alone consciously control them?

Interesting. I understand what you’re saying but I’m not convinced. I don’t think we can ever have conscious control over intention. I’m certain that conscious experience will inform non-conscious processes over time, but that’s not free will.

2/2 I think this is where the illusion of free will arises. We know we are making choices based on our own experience. But as Robert Sapolsky says: you cannot intend to have an intention. We have no conscious control over what that intention is.

For free will to exist, consciousness would need direct agency in violation of causality. However, consciousness amplifies the effect of certain stimuli precisely because there’s ‘something it’s like’ to experience the stimuli. Conscious experience influences non-conscious processes 1/2

I couldn’t imagine a philosopher’s zombie seeking out pleasure for its own sake since, by definition, there would be no capacity for pleasure. It would be driven by basic survival imperatives.

Lovely birds. They don’t seem to appear as often as blue tits and great tits etc. One day last summer, I recognised the sound of a long tailed tit, so I played a recording of their calls on my phone and suddenly I was surrounded by them on the branches mere feet away! A magical moment!

Since we cannot be 100% certain either way, ultimately it must boil down to personal preference which is not very helpful, I know.

I’d be inclined to go with Innogen. The Riverside and Pelican Shakespeare editions follow the Folio whereas Oxford, Norton and RSC all choose Innogen. Shakespeare’s contemporary, Simon Forman, describing a 1611 performance, gave the name as Innogen. Imogen could be a compositor’s error in the F.
