- MaxBarraclough 8y agoYou can spare me the snark next time, but thanks. I'd assumed it didn't exist as, from what I can tell, Dennett isn't usually one for that kind of thing.
- theoh 8y agoI try not to be snarky, but only because it invites downvotes. Your "pity" comment came across as sententious. What do you mean by "that kind of thing"? Searching for " conversation with Daniel dennett" returns more appearances, on podcasts, with Dawkins, with W.V.O. Quine, with Sam Harris. Dennett is a big self-promoter even by the standards of academic celebrities. Dennett and Pinker are both massively overrated and past their sell-by dates IMO. But instead of having a substantive discussion that might enrich this thread you seem to be intent on low-effort idle speculation about what kinds of public appearance Dennett might or might not be keen on. It is exasperating.
- MaxBarraclough 8y agoYou're right, he's more publicly active than I'd thought. Now to find a good video of him fighting it out over his 'multiple drafts' theory of mind.
