We Are Not Software: David Bentley Hart with Acid Horizon

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.
