"How about you jerks getting adult-sized attention spans?"
You want our attention? How about a little less Academic Hell/Philosophy Smoker whining and a little more Doom (and maybe, just maybe, a little more Public Philosophy). Just saying.
You see, Chalmers used to exist, but his neurons were replaced, one by one, with artificial circuits until he faded out of existence, to be replaced by his zombie.
C'mon the only way this could be Chalmers is if he were one-half of the heir of a Parfitian zombie writing like C-guy on one side of the transformation and like S-guy on the other. Both mindless, of course.
(Though both quite enjoyably blogfully mindful of the intelligibility of discourse, of course, in a functional way indistinguishable from real mindfulness. Oh man, that hurt my mind even trying to say it. Though I'm trusting the raw feels of hurt to believe I have a real mind myself. And I probably shouldn't.)
Observations from an old cranky jerk who happens to be a professional philosopher. Occasionally philosophical, most often just vulgar. Sometimes focused on sober points of logic and issues in political theory, but more frequently fixed on nonsense. Bad metal bands, crappy guitarists, stupid lyrics, celebrities, pop "culture," telemarketers, irrationality, and other annoyances. Always misanthropic. Anti-religious. Not particularly amusing, either. Some might say insulting. Strange mail. Kook magnet. Doom. Comments from other cranky jerks, young and old.

wtf?
Just joking with a few wiseacre regulars.
I want more posts! I can't get enough Spiros....
best phil blog ever
Spiros, LOL. ROTFL.
TLDR
What I noticed is the two (now three) posts in a row that don't mention metal or someone dying.

PA,
Message received. "Philosophy Smoker whining." Classic.
Love the academic hell posts
More, more, more!
Metal and people who are dead. What else is an anonymous blogger who is David Chalmers supposed to blog about?
3pm:
Really???????
I'd love to know who Spiros is. Will we ever know?
I can't prove it, but Spiros doesn't exist.
@anons 3:00 + 9:39
Hold it, does that mean that David Chalmers doesn't exist? Then who is that rather hirsute fellow who regularly hangs about the APA?
Anon 10:19,
Oh, come on. That's just asking for it. The guy at the APA is a David Chalmers zombie.
*covers face with hands to ward off rotten fruit*
Verification word: 'logica'
But if David Chalmers doesn't exist, how can anybody (anything?) be his zombie?
Oh, look, you're not anonymous at all....

Not Chalmers.
