I will be presenting Deprioritizing the A Priori Arguments against Physicalism at Columbia University tonight as a guest lecture in Hakwan Lau’s seminar on consciousness (other guest lecturers include Uriah Kriegel, David Rosenthal, & Jessee Prinz). I have made a podcast of the talk (a video) available here.

1) Haha “Type-B deny – everyone else.”
I imagine Chalmers did well in defining the types of physicalist because it conveniently sets physicalists into a potentially unwinnable debate with eachother (A vs B vs C) before they even begin the question begging debate with the dualists.
2) If I was Maria I might be slightly disturbed (maybe insulted) by being your example person. Best if she is never in your audience !
Why disturbed/insulted?
I doubt I’ll have to worry about her finding out but what’s the issue? Do you have a better Maria in mind?
