Thoughts on a slow December day

What do you guys think of this? This philosophy professor at Berkeley talks about embodied consciousness -- how our perceptions and agency are intrinsically linked to our bodies and the world around us. But it seems to me that even with a phenomenon like phantom limb pain being helped by a mirror box where you can see your phantom limb unclench, it's still just another form of sensory input to your brain, just visual instead of somatosensory. Even physical reflexes that occur without consulting with your brain first are in a sense just mechanical reactions. Then, later on you get the signal to your brain that your leg kicked after your knee got hammered, and you go "ohhh, my leg kicked." Does that really imply your knee being part of your consciousness?

I dunno, what do you think? Is this an exercise in philosophy that eventually just breaks down into semantics?

Share your iTunes playlists

Hey all, what do you think of this SonicSwap website? It takes info from your iTunes library (not the files themselves) and essentially uploads your playlists in less than a minute. Then, you can listen to all your music anywhere you can get internet, and listen to other's playlists too. It doesn't seeeem to be illegal, and you can watch the music video while you listen. Although the sound quality isn't as good as it is right off your computer, it seems like a nice way to get to hear all the cool stuff your friends are listening to (assuming the music isn't so obscure, they couldn't find it). Anyway, check it out, share your thoughts, and maybe some music we haven't heard. My user name is "lingawonga".
