very few philosophers know anything about QM or neurology
Very few philosophers need to know anything about QM or neurology.
QM potentially answers cool philosophical questions like, "does cut & paste transportation preserves identity" (it looks like it does, for our universe doesn't seem to encode any identity at all).
Neurology will most probably tell us nearly everything we will ever know about how humans actually work. I expect many questions formerly considered "philosophical" will be answered by this piece of science.
Therefore, I think nearly all philosophers need to know some QM and neurology.
I'm sure most of us are used to just being able to badger him about things in the comments here on LW, but for anyone interested here's the link.
