Thank goodness, she's alive (though she seems to have withdrawn from UCSC as well, unless her UC Berkeley email address is a ruse to trick Yoshie). And a Professor of History of Consciousness no less! Can't study consciousness if you aren't alive, though Dosscartes believes that you exist because you are conscious. Bet he couldn't get that thesis published in MR.

Thank you for the link, Doug.
