To anybody who supports (or even considers supporting) my channel monetarily, thank you. I am naturally grateful for any engagement with my work, but it is specifically people like you that allow me to do what I do, and to do so whilst avoiding sponsorship.
--------------------------------------VIDEO NOTES--------------------------------------
Thanks to Dorset Humanists (www.dorsethumanists.co.uk) for hosting this talk and for providing the footage. I tried to record my own audio, but it suffered from some ugly electrical interference due to the live microphone, so I had to use the in-camera audio.
The camera cuts out around halfway through for a few minutes, but returns afterwards, and the audio is retained from the other microphone.
One thing to note: at one point I reference Derek Parfit and define pleasure in terms of what 'is wanted when experienced'. This seems now to be circular, since I'm trying to argue that pleasure is the only thing desired in itself. Rather than simply redefining pleasure to mean what is desired, I'm trying to demonstrated that 'desiring what is pleasurable' is essentially a tautology, so don't take my definition there as a step towards the conclusion of my argument, but the conclusion itself. Thanks for watching!
