This was the most head-exploding episode so far...check out @disagreeableme.bsky.social 's theory that consciousness, the physical universe, and everything can be reduced to pure mathematics...

@aptshadow.bsky.social Is that a deliberate reference to @thekiffness.bsky.social in Pretenders to the Throne of God or just a weird coincidence?

@kierongillen.bsky.social I read a story by Ludovico Einaudi about a time he had to perform on an out of tune piano. It was a Ludo dissonance narrative.

We say there is a fine-tuning problem because if we tweak the values of the physical constants, life seems to become impossible. But what if we tweak the structure of the laws of physics instead? open.substack.com/pub/disagree...

Short and sweet post about why I don't think the problem of evil should bother anyone who is both a theist and an anti-functionalist. As with most of my philosophy, my implicit target here is probably my frenemy @philipgoff.bsky.social. disagreeableme.substack.com/p/i-dont-get...

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.

I was joking here when predicting that @philipgoff.bsky.social would lose the debate. To set the record straight, I think he actually did very well. I think his arguments for a God of limited powers were more persuasive than the opposition's against. Christianity, not so much.

Poem by Pat Ingoldsby
A Message For When I Am Gone

Ireland

It is little or no favours
you ever did for me or my poems
When I was alive

I have this terrible feeling
That someone
After I am gone
You will swing into
Your usual
Rearguard action

So
Posthumously
In advance
Shove it up your arse
