Mostly talking about Susan Blackmore and her stance on free will and by extension her concluding that by there being no free will there is no self.
The notion I get from her is that things just happen because it’s all the impact of forces around us and things have consequences even if we aren’t “responsible” for any of it.
Weirder though are her ideas about consciousness, or rather the non-existence of it:
““There is nothing it is like to be me. I am not a persisting conscious entity. I do not consciously cause the actions of my body. Consciousness is not a stream of experiences. Seeing entails no vivid mental pictures or movie in the brain. There is no unity of consciousness either in a given moment or through time. Brain activity is neither conscious nor unconscious. There are no contents of consciousness. There is no now.””
Though if according to her is does not exist then what exactly explains our experience and anything else? The term for it is illusionism and others like Daniel Dennett think the same way but I just think it’s a weird term for it.
Also not to typecast or stereotype but looking at her picture kinda explains some of the wild ideas she has, IMO.
