I'm surprized how many people passed on the chance to speak to this man in person.

@theguywith1face Studying philosophy I once sat in on a psychology lecture with 150 students about consciousness. To me this was the most interesting lecture that whole semester. It was given by an expert in the field who explored the limits. Only two other people went down to ask the lecturer after class questions. One was a psychology student who asked in distress whether we would get any of this on the exams. The other student was a philosophy student I recognized from an earlier course. t_t

@CPLains Everybody has thier priorities set then I guess...

[CPLains]

@theguywith1face yeah, and when i'm depressed from principle of sufficient reason being nonexistent and consciousness being some kind of grand illusion maybe that very psychologist will save me :D
