Consciousness and the Dennett Paradox β€” John Horgan (The Science Writer) Hoboken, April 20, 2024. Daniel Dennett’s death feels like the end of an era, the era of ultra-materialist, ultra-Darwinian, swaggering, know-it-all scientism . Who’s left? Dawkins? Dennett isn’...

Here's a good article on consciousness, involving talking about Dennet's thoughts on the topic

I'd be pretty sure Norther Ireland are using Kerosene. It's still 250 euro cheaper for 500 litres.

North of the border in Newry (UK), 500 Litres is the equivalent of 665 euro currently. Morgan fuels, a local supplier in County Louth, are charging €913 for the same quantity!

That's nearly 250 euro in the difference.

Home-heating oil hikes 8 times higher than EU average Increases in the price of home-heating oil in the aftermath of the Iran war were around eight times higher in Ireland than elsewhere in the European Union.

Blatant price gouging here. What the hell? Do they want elderly people to actually freeze to death on cold nights?
