Coming up: Is #addiction a brain disease, a problem of character, or both (or neither)? Josh and Ray can't get enough of Hanna Pickard from @jhu.edu, author of "What Would You Do Alone in a Cage with Nothing But Cocaine? A Philosophy of Addiction."
Andy Clark also disagreed with the "controlled hallucination" tagline: philosophytalk.org/shows/power-...

However, @evanthompson.bsky.social argues that this claim is bad philosophy, and brings nothing new to the table regarding the problem of consciousness.

ChatGPT didn't label our resinded #NEH grant for a @philtalkradio.bsky.social radio/podcast series on female philosophers throughout history as DEI, but I'm sure its title—Wise Women—triggered the DOGE bros anyway, hence it was canceled.
