"like yourselves...like yourself!" Funny moment :)

@scruethedemiurge I guess your right. He was mainly criticizing the overemphasis on language.
-
@TheDavid2222 I disagree with you. Magee dismantled the idea that our catagories of experience are entirely or even mainly linguistic. Are catagories of experience are however to a large part linguistic and I don't think even Magee would argue against that.
And yes it is a damn good book.

What are words?

What's funny is that Bryan Magee DESTROYED the entire idea of the "philosophy of language" in only a few pages in his book "Confessions of a Philosopher". I highly recommend the book. He dismantles the logical positivists and the linguistic philosophers with ease. I actually laughed aloud at how quickly they were dispatched!

@darklord220 Searle is inconsistent and vague for the most part, and Dennett in "Consciousness Explained" and Chris Hill in "Sensations" fuck him over pretty well. "though it is very probable that you do not understand them" Arrogant little twat; you've probably never even read the original essay
"I'm not the one who said" What an anal little shit you are; I fucking know that you dim fuck, everybody knows that, why are employing such a rhetorical style that makes look so cunt-ish?

@niriop Um...I think John Searle lays out his arguments for bio. naturalism quite well enough already, though it is very probable that you do not understand them. I'm not the one who said "...as a philosopher of mind and political commenter, erm, not so much...", looks like you have a magnificent counterargument that John Searle has never heard of.
-
@darklord220 Do you have any constructive arguments in favour of John Searle's biological naturalist theory of mind or are you just going to be a winging little bitch? Have you come out of the closet yet by the way?

@niriop adpt is a word you can find in the dictionary.
A comment on this series of videos: it's a total trip to see what Searle and Singer looked like when they were young.
Also, thank you flame very, very much for uploading this series, I've gained quite a bit watching them. Your work is perhaps the best contribution to youtube in its history.

How come they never make these kinds of programs anymore? Because people are getting more alienated and most TV channels prefers making easy money out of simple crap? Could be. It's a question worth discussing.
Thanks for posting this anyway!
