Oh wow, there’s a great resource out now (it’s been out for a bit actually, I’m late). Tons of essays on consciousness from the philosophy side of the house are online (tons). They can be found here.

If you’re interested but intimidated, keep in mind that an essay or two in any resource’s introduction is best to understand any given topic, and just work your way down. Even ten of these essays, so long as they’re dated within the last decade, would be wonderful for anyone to read.

So far as this blog is concerned, I know I’ve been on a longer than usual break. I’m travelling more and trying newer things out than just reading. But I do have an essay in the works, which tries to make clear the argument between Dennett’s consciousness model and what some philosophers call the “Hard Problem” as well as point out some trouble I think both sides of the house are having. It won’t actually answer any difficult questions, but it provides a vantage point that I think some people miss because of the nuances of semantics and what experience itself might be. Check back in a month and it should be up.

I’m also thinking of updating the anti-god essay (check the first month archives) and putting it up as a linked page from the front of the site (where the About and <3 entries sit). And probably not the smartest thing for me to bother with, but my writing is tied up into continuing what I did with Halo for Call of Duty 4 now, partly because I’m infatuated, and partly because I always wanted to put something up on Gamefaqs.
