#1: Gary Drescher on consciousness, moral realism, and acausal decision theory
This episode, I talk with computer scientist and philosopher Gary Drescher about his book Good and Real. This book lays out a general case for the materialist worldview. We focus here on his theory of consciousness and his theory of ethics, the latter of which is deeply rooted in his subjunctive decision theory. This talk was recorded at Eleos Conference on AI Consciousness and Welfare in November of 2025.Links:- Good and Real- Join the AI welfare Discord to see the reading group archives- Eleos AI Get full access to Threats and Promises at threatsandpromises.substack.com/subscribe
