One of the Horsemen fallsDaniel Dennett, philosophical giant who championed “naturalism,” dead at 82 | Ars Technica

The only one of the horseman that any effect on me is Hitchens and that is solely because of Hitchens’s Razor. “What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.”
Dennett always seemed to me to not get a lot of the science side of things. He was a navel gazing philosopher. Nothing wrong with that, but it certainly limits one’s relevance.
Like Dawkins he became openly supportive of TERF(Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist) ideology. Another time an entitled old white guy decides he should spout on about something he knows nothing about.
Sorry he is dead, but meh. No not sorry. He was old, he was sick. It happens.

Theo, I don't know which Daniel Dennett you have in mind but I don't think it is this one:

That is him. His understandings and ideas of science, consciousness and darwimism seemed to be way too much philosophical goo and lots of words saying nothing.
