Frank Field becomes the third one from my list to go. Probably for the best really as it can't have been pleasant being so far in to a terminal illness.

Despite his age I was shocked by this. The night prior I had watched a fairly recent debate he had taken part in where he had specifically mentioned a couple of times that he was in good health. Sad times

It was quite a big deal for me too. I've always thought of Daniel Dennett as one of the "big two" in the philosophy of consciousness (along with David Chalmers), which is a particular area of interest to me. I disagreed with a lot of what Dennett said, and always found him incredibly smug and arrogant, but it's still a sad time for philosophy.Callum Todd wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 8:40 pmDespite his age I was shocked by this.

Shifty Shellshock (not his real name) from one hit wonders Crazy Town. Met him once when my friend's band supported them on their comeback tour. He was pretty cool. Someone in the crowd tried to give him a pint of Guinness but he politely refused, explaining that the whole band were recovering alcoholics.

How the hell Jimmy Carter is still alive is beyond me. He's clearly totally unkillable (just like Donald Trump, though I did try.)
