Patricia Churchland interviewed by Alex Tsakiris of Skeptiko (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaDCQrfh77s) [This conversation between Skeptiko host Alex Tsakiris and University of California philosophy professor Dr. Patricia Churchland is interesting, not least because it seems to reveal Dr. Churchland's unwillingness to engage with evidence that might challenge her materialist beliefs.]
