I too enjoyed Justin's paper "Liking What's Good for You". Very nicely done. I'd point out that BK has addressed the argument about our choices forming before we are aware of them - it's just a question of not being metaconscious of all our mental activity (reference to the no-report paradigm, etc).

Yup. I take it that Justin writes generally in alignment with Analytic Idealism.

Thank you Lou and Ben. Keep up the good fight ;)

I am taking a little break from the forum now. Best wishes to all, including you Ashvin.

Let us all also not forget to sit back and remember, from time to time, that all of us are all on the same side. Amen.

Thanks Justin, you too. Amen!
