It's interesting that the article came out after Thomas Nagel's book Mind and Cosmos and essentially ignores his very serious arguments against materialistic determinism (for the most part more sophisticated and philosophically sound versions of arguments C.S. Lewis gave in more popularly accessible form years earlier).

I’m not familiar with Nagel, but assume his writings a very similar to those of Fred Alan Wolf.

I find their concepts to be truly extraordinary because they are actually possible.

Providing that what we know of “uncertainty” is certainly true.

It still leaves Man alone.
