Between 2004 and 2021 this site hosted Conscious Entities, a blog in which I planned to sort out all the problems of consciousness. I thought it might take a couple of months.

In 2021 I stopped updating the blog. One reason was that I had essentially said what I had to say (and recorded the gist in a book). In addition the era of optimism about computational consciousness was generally over, so there was less current discussion to address. Third, illness took all my energy. Surgery fixed that, but when I recovered I found I didn’t really want to go back to the old topics.

I mean to edit the old content and make some of it available again, so I’m keeping this basic site for now.
