Oh yah, I've admitted as much. My academic background is Psych, Phil of Mind and Language, and Neuro, with a dash of Computer Science because I love debt and ivory towers and prolonged adolescence.

That's like my sweetspot of special interests 🤣 finally returned to finish my philosophy degree recently after a couple decades of dicking around with chaos. Taking a neuroethics class this fall that I'm *really* excited about.

Nice! My jam was the underdeveloped intersection between language, thought, and neurological concepts. Following thinkers like Daniel Dennett and Patricia Churchland; kinda pragmatic, kinda idealistic. Phil majors are dangerous fun. Glad I followed you 🍿

I'm primarily interested in consciousness, and especially the potential for emergent machine consciousness. Still not convinced it's possible, but also, the current iterations of LLMs really call into question a whole lot of things about the human experience of consciousness. But language is another deep interest of mine, both philosophically and linguistically. I love words. Been obsessed with them since I was a toddler - my mother noticed I was reading the words before she was when reading at story time, and made picture books with polaroids and the words written on sharpie to encourage me 🤣
