I’ll be attending FogCon in Walnut Creek this weekend, and I’m moderating a panel this Friday the 30th at 1:30pm:
Body and Mind: Smash the Binary, Salon B/C
Body/Mind duality is a staple of Western philosophy and metaphysics, from the ancient Greeks through Rene Descartes through the present day. Is this a false duality or an essential truth? Come the Singularity, when we upload our personalities to the Cloud, what will be left behind or left?
Is it just me, or does that sound like two panel topics? In any case, we’ll be tackling both, and it should be interesting. I know a lot more about philosophy than I did a week ago, let me tell you.
Anyone attending FogCon, please feel free to come up and say hi during the weekend. I look forward to seeing you!
The Practical Free Spirit 
Good luck with your panel! Sounds like an interesting topic.
Oh yeah, it’s been good enough to give me weeks of contemplation. I really hope I can encourage a lively and interesting discussion. 🙂
I’ll definitely see you there!!
Hooray! And on Saturday, I’ll be all relaxed and Zen-like. 😉
