HHHHHHHH MY GOD!!! he goes "well that could be resisting arrest" the kid goes "he's handcuffed. face down on the ground." Cop goes
"we're not gonna talk politics now"

"Would his mind be in the vat" what the FUCK are you talking about

literally who cares

One summer's day in 1976, the philosopher Daniel Dennett was driving along the Massachusetts turnpike when he had a disquieting
thought. "If somehow my brain were moved into my chest cavity without destroying any connectivity, wouldn't I still think my mind was right behind my eyes and between my ears?" Perhaps he could be decapitated and still be a professor of philosophy.

By the time he reached Poughkeepsie in New York state, Dennett recalls in his paradoxically engaging and annoying memoir, this thought experiment had become even wilder. What if his brain was kept alive in a vat connected to his body with radio links? Would his mind be in the vat? Bewitched by the possibility, he gave university talks in which he, like some philosophical PT Barnum, would toggle a switch on a metal box with a radio antenna and tried to convince his audience that he was being controlled by his remote brain.

Hot take: I actually like when people bring up how they relate to my situation. I don't assume they're trying to steal the spotlight or one-up me. I see it as a person trying to help however they can by connecting & being vulnerable w me, as we should if we want community

-"Artists are mad you think it's cool to use stolen artwork cause it's trendy and encourages these companies to keep doing that."

He knew once more, at last, after this long, bitter, wasted time, who he was and where he was. But where he must go in the years to come, that he could not see; and he feared to see it.
