Up until the middle of the 2nd to last paragraph. [sigh]
https://galenstrawson.substack.com/p/consciousness cf also: https://galenstrawson.substack.com/p/david-hume-was-not-a-humean But I'm really into the phrase "terminological slum". I think I'd prefer a word other than "slum", though. It feels vaguely classist or something. Would anyone who lives in a slum call their neighborhood a "slum"? I guess that's kinda my litmus test. If the potential victims _own_ the term, maybe it's OK to use it. Having relatives who actually live in swamps, I'm OK with the abuse of that term. I also learned the word [duff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_floor) the other day. This is even more apt than swamp, I think. Of the parade of thinkers Strawson lists (Solms, Levin, Damasio, etc), my guess is they would be amenable to a kind of Delphi method for shrinking the terminological hull surrounding "consciousness". I bet if we tuned 100 or so LLM agents, each on one of these denizens of the duff, we could get them to disperse out into the ecosystem proper, some in the canopy, some deep in the soil, maybe eliminating the problematic moniker entirely. -- ¡sıɹƎ ןıɐH ⊥ ɐןןǝdoɹ ǝ uǝןƃ ὅτε oi μὲν ἄλλοι κύνες τοὺς ἐχϑροὺς δάκνουσιν, ἐγὰ δὲ τοὺς φίλους, ἵνα σώσω.
