While most (? my impression anyway as someone who works there) researchers at FRI place highest credence on functionalism and eliminativism, there is more skepticism about Brian’s inclination to never draw hard boundaries in concept space.
It would be interesting to see FRI develop what ‘suffering-focused ethics, as informed by functionalism/eliminativism, but with hard boundaries in concept space’ might look like.
