Hayek, Popper, and the Causal Theory of the Mind
Here is the introduction to Ed Feser’s paper from Hayek in Mind.
In late 1952, F. A. Hayek sent his friend Karl Popper a copy of his recently published book The Sensory Order: An Inquiry into the Foundations of Theoretical Psychology. In a letter dated December 2, 1952, Popper acknowledged receipt of the book and responded as follows to what he had read in it:
I am not sure whether one could describe your theory as a causal theory of the sensory order. I think, indeed, that one can. But then, it would be also the sketch of a causal theory of the mind.

One of my, if not THE, favorite website(s), Consumating.com, died on Friday, March 14, 2008.
In sum, Consumating.com began as a dating site for 20-somethings, but turned into a quirky social networking site, much like Myspace or Facebook. It was created by the Internet Rockstar himself, Ben Brown, who sold it to CNET for lots o’ cash. CNET abandoned Consumating, leaving 1 person to update it weekly. Instead of trying to revive the site with a small, connected group of diehard, loyal users, it decided to pull the plug.
Consumating to me…. meant alot. Some people are disgruntled at CNET because the site was a little piece of the internet hardly anyone knew about, but for those who did, it became a real community. I talked to and met several people I never would have talked to on the street. Jason, Oz, and Sheldon… here’s to you.
But my the biggest life changer: Consumating.com…

It features a presenter of a serious talk show breaking into fits of giggles after hearing the voice of one of his guests, who spoke in a squeaky manner due to a failed tonsillectomy. The clip is often mistaken for being real, and was showcased on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Star Channel news as being so.

You know you’re a child of the 80’s when your nostalgia includes memories of the Windows OS, specifically the startup and shutdown themes. I have to say that Windows 95 and 2000 had the best startup music of the entire series. A few of the betas also had great music, but it’s a shame they never made it to the final release.
If only these OSes had the same creativity and care when it came to the internal plumbing and security, Microsoft would have left the greatest legacy in the computing world.
