On my Substack, “Philosophy of Human Flourishing,” I’ve added a couple more posts. The first argues that sometimes people blow up their lives just to feel free. It’s written as a reading of Dostoevsky’s Notes from Underground as it applies to topics like free will, AI, etc.: “Why do we self-sabotage?” The second is a follow-up where I consider what Robert Nozick’s thought experiment, “the experience machine,” says about our desire to feel free: “We want more than ‘experiences’; we want ‘reality'”.
Trying Substack…again
Now, this time, I won’t be abandoning this blog, but I do want a place that’s a bit of a fresh start for thoughts I want to post related to my new “Philosophy of Human Flourishing” class. So, if you’re interested, check out brianleport.substack.com.
