Fair comment. The books is not perfect—I think it gets a bit tedious in the
examples. Maybe my recommendation was a bit too strong.
Nevertheless, I do think it’s special in the way it promotes the naturalistic
worldview, and how it applies this all across the board—from consciousness
to the sense of time to quantum physics to ethics. There’s indeed quite some
overlap with topics discussed here, but it’s nice to read it in a book with
all the themes connected. Those are the ‘good bits’ for me.
Talking about books, it’d be great if there were some LW Books Top-10 for 2009.
