Jerry Fodor, in the LRB:

If there’s anything we philosophers really hate it’s an untenable dualism. Exposing untenable dualisms is a lot of what we do for a living. It’s no small job, I assure you.

Fodor quotes David Chalmers, from the forward to Andy Clark's new book, Supersizing the Mind:

My iPhone is not my tool, or at least it is not wholly my tool. Parts of it have become parts of me ... When parts of the environment are coupled to the brain in the right way, they become parts of the mind.

Fodor asks:

Roughly, how many parts would you say your mind has?

Andrei Codrescu:

A philosophical shift does not occur when a machine says, "I'm a human being." It does occur when a human being says, "I'm a machine."

Nicholas Carr:

I’m not thinking the way I used to think.

Recently, Jello:

If my mind is a Turing Machine, my word queue is malfunctioning and is too small to hold enough words to speak normally.

From the archive, Freeman Dyson:

Now, after three billion years, the Darwinian interlude is over.

Eric Kandel:

If the century just passed was the province of the gene, then the next hundred years shall be "the province of the mind."

From the archive:

The other day while watching the evening news, it crossed my mind that the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
