Well done! However, 'There are more things in heaven and earth (Gavin) Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

I didn't win. Anil Seth did. This is why consciousness is such an interesting topic and has consumed billions of hours of human thinking time.

I think when you said you didn’t expect to win, we thought you had actually won and had had a lovely surprise!

Belated condolences and thank you for your thoughtful post on sorting out our affairs before we die. Have downsized, am still giving away or selling stuff that does fit here and my partner and I are crunching through the will and the questions it raises. We lost all four parents in their late 80s in the space of 18 months 7 years ago. The death admin/house sort work was really hard on us and our siblings. Please be like the Swedes everyone and do the Death Cleaning before you die if you can. Youdo feel lighter when you’ve done it x

Belated condolences about your younger sister, especially the difficult disease she had to live with.

I had skipped the August post on the assumption that it's about the terminal stages of MS.

Thank you for the useful checklist and the reminder of the things we should all do, whatever the state of health.
