Thomas Nagel’s paper “What is it like to be a bat?”

I’m not sure I agree with his points or his “scientism” terminology, but my takeway was “there are things going on with conscious experience that our current scientific understandings simply aren’t close to understanding and explaining yet.”
Thanks!
