2025-10-01 18:02:20 +0000 UTCI am a historian. My background is in ancient Mesopotamia and medieval European history. A few years ago during covid I went down a rabbit hole of studying physics. I have zero math skills but I began studying and reading everything I could get my hands on. I always had an interest but never really put energy into it. I think the natural progression was to end up delving into philosophy given its relation to both science and history. It’s something I haven’t studied since university, but I did tutor philosophy for a few semesters. I found your channel and I love the work you are doing.

2025-09-18 01:35:05 +0000 UTCIrrelevant to the subject, but I feel so empowered since I started highlighting my books again. Those minuscule folds I used to make on the corners were so cowardly.

2025-09-16 09:35:30 +0000 UTCAaahhh, how did David Papineau fly under my radar all this time??? (Though to be fair, it hasn’t been that long, I only started getting into philosophy of mind earlier this year). I was just reading Antonio Damasio’s Self Comes to Mind before bed last night, nodding along the whole way, and it turns out their views are remarkably similar. The truth is, quite a few philosophers of mind have frustrated me because I often don’t find their arguments compelling or well-grounded enough. That’s why I tend to gravitate toward neuroscientists for insight instead, though many of them also have a tendency to make occasional questionable logical leaps and/or over-complicate things unnecessarily. I also love me a clear thinker :) (maybe Papineau’s background in mathematics has something to do with it?) I’m really glad I learned about Papineau from you. Thank you sooo much for mentioning him!

She sounds like a great addition to my (enormous and growing) pile of books awaiting autumn equinox. If there are any more must read women, please let me know.

2025-09-15 05:14:54 +0000 UTCPhilosophy of science was one of my favourite undergrad courses; I agree it is too bad this area doesn't get more attention in general. (Also, thoroughly enjoyed the latest video!)

2025-09-14 20:32:47 +0000 UTCI was just looking into Nancy Cartwright’s and Ian Hacking’s ideas a few minutes ago, right after watching your latest video :). I also looked into a few others, but those two were at the top of my list because I was specifically looking for a Deutsch–Chang synthesis. Plus, I thought it was cool that they were once married.
