This may or may not be relevant, but I would definitely say that Brian’s views are not ‘fringe views’ in the philosophy of mind; they’re quite widely held in philosophy and elsewhere. I believe Brian sticks out because his writing is so clear, and because he doesn’t avoid thinking about and admitting strange implications of his views.
That said I don’t know Carl’s specific views on the topic.
