Thanks for this. I listened to the Sam Harris podcast (until the paid content) do you subscribe? Funnily enough I co-organised a conference when I was studying psychology at Uni in Amsterdam about the Self and Metzinger was one of the speakers. I later co-edited a book on it and he wrote one of the chapters. It was seriously the hardest thing I ever read. My brain was sore. I have a very mint copy of his ‘Being No One - the self-model theory subjectivity‘ on my bookshelf. Let me know if you would like to borrow it ;) We definitely need a post-neoliberalist,-individualist mindset/philosophy in our society, focusing on sustainability, community and diversity. As someone who scores highly on openness to experience, count me in.
