How I met Daniel Dennett
At some point in the late 90s, Daniel Dennett was a visiting Scholar in our Philosophy department at the University of Canterbury. A bunch of us were dead keen on Cognitive Science at the time, so it was awesome to have him there for a few months. We held a conference for him – focused on his new book “Darwin’s Dangerous Idea”. A bunch of us turned up wearing T-shirts that quoted him from Consciousness Explained where he said “We’re all Zombies.” but footnoted it “To quote this line out of context would be an act of desperate intellectual dishonesty!” (there was no context whatsoever on our T-shirts)
How I met Richard M. Stallman
RMS visited the University of Canterbury sometime around the turn of the century. We invited him to the KAOS 48hr party afterwards, it was pretty raucous and he seemed to have a good time. I apologized for being a spawn of Satan windows programmer, and he said “You are not the spawn of Satan…but you are a Sinner” and someone else said “Yeah, the spawn of Satan’s over there” (pointing at JSR….long story)
