Great Online MIT Class "Minds and Machines" for the Questions SOMA Poses

[Striker]

Today we are listening to a lecture about the Churchlands, a married philosopher couple. Husband Paul, in particular, is a proponent of Eliminative materialism, which says that"people's common-sense understanding of the mind (or folk psychology) is false and that certain classes of mental states that most people believe in do not exist."

I wonder if this is the couple that the Luteces in Bioshock is based off of.

Haha, could be, I need to check this stuff out, i'm into it as well.

Cool man it's pretty good and neat to see all these names I've heard about for years coming to life.

The class does get a bit technical at times with the argumentation discussions, which seem almost mathematical, but it's still excellent, and the argumentation structure is a great skill to have.
