When differences of view emerge, as they are bound to do from time to time, they should be resolved privately and whenever appropriately, collectively.

Since I'm not a journalist, I talk about issues that encourage an interchange of ideas through conversation while also being entertaining.

My view is that while you do occasionally have differences you ought to have a process where you can sit down and talk about things. How else do you solve problems?

People have different views of how you deal with different issues in literature, and, frankly, long may it last that there is a range of views.

The beauty of interdisciplinary conversation is that the mode of expression is essentially different for each practitioner, even if ideas are shared.

When people have not the same ideas, it is certainly better not to talk about them.

My ideas are always better. We have an understanding in place.

To read the report of a discussion in which arguments for and against are presented, in which a subject has been covered from different points of view, with new ideas advanced - this is far more instructive than to read a brief account of the resolution passed on the matter.

'The Conversation' will hopefully touch on issues that will move people to want to strengthen communication and look to each other for solutions.

Here, the broader issues are already familiar, and discussion has focused at a more sophisticated and detailed level. Within the philosophy of mind, the problem of consciousness is no big news.
