If you feel like some Sunday consciousness philosophizing that definitely is not "brain in a vat" join us for a discussion of his book at this event: "Feeling and Knowing" by neuroscientist Antonio Damasio. He essentially argues in a series of short self contained essays that to understand intelligence requires starting with feeling. There are discussion notes being prepared so you don't have to read the book now (linked below). Read it later if inclined. (He's not attending -- this is just a discussion.)
