We Are Not Software: David Bentley Hart with Acid Horizon (Patreon)

Acid Horizon and Sean from Wyrd Signal are joined by the philosopher, theologian, and author David Bentley Hart to discuss the nature and philosophy of mind amongst today's AI-anxious conceptual landscape. We discussed his critiques of David Chalmers and Daniel Dennett in terms of his rejection of a computational model of the mental in light if the intentionality and synthetic unity of consciousness; and the political stakes of a reduction of the conscious to the machinic in times of encroaching reaction and Empire.
