I conceive ethics as a branch of psychology.

Absurdity is one of the most human things about us: a manifestation of our most advanced and interesting characteristics.

fundamentally an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism--something it is like for the organism.

A person may be greedy, envious, cowardly, cold, ungenerous, unkind, vain, or conceited, but behave perfectly by a monumental act of the will.

I'm not sure I understand how responsibility for our choices makes sense if they are not determined.

Everyone is entitled to commit murder in the imagination once in a while, not to mention lesser infractions.

Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.
