Great article man! Love all the philosophy of mind references. During my freshman seminar I had to read Consciousness Explained by Daniel Dennett, ended up switching me from going to the business school to being a philosophy major and 'Learning how to learn.'

Now that I've started learning how to program and working building a product I can't thank that professor. Whether learning what customers want, learning how to sell, or learning a new programming language / framework - it's essential to be able to pick up stuff quickly.

I hadn't thought about philosophy in awhile so thanks for reminding me the benefits of being able to clearly articulate complex ideas and make meaning out of uncertainty.
