   Sometimes I feel completely irrational. This makes me feel like a proud Amsterdammer.

   Very well deserved. An artist right up there with Messiaen, Chagall … and “the Austrian people”? I’m not sure what that’s about.

   Lots of his articles, going as far back as 1983, can be found here.

   Congratulations to Daniel Dennett! I was recently asked if I was him (by a young Icelandic man), while waiting to get a ticket at Brussels Midi – we do look similar (though I’m a bit younger and a bit slimmer). The thought of pretending I was, only crossed my mind afterwards – I reckon I might have carried it off, having read most of his books. I don’t suppose the prize money is given in cash ;-)

   If I’m not mistaken, you were dismissing the whole of philosophy as no better than theology just a few days ago.

   Congrats to Dan Dennett. His explanation of consciousness drove the last nail into the coffin of spiritualism, at least for me.

   from the erasmus site:

   Dennett has published numerous articles and books, most noted are Breaking the Spell (2007, a personal search for the meaning of religion)

   a personal search for the meaning or religion??? since when!

   dudes are obviously trying to gloss over dennett’s outspoken atheism
