The illusion of consciousness (transcript)
Summary
I regretted why I answered strangely in our class last Saturday.
Is this the suggestion he (the speaker) said in the article?
People expect detail that isn't there when they see something that, for example, there are just even little blobs, so all things seem to start from their expectation.
People think that he must be good at explaining something because he is a philosopher.
They think that they must see something when they get closer to it.
I think that I will be allowed when I answered something in English.
The brain isn't putting the detail in their head. The brain just makes them think that there is the detail there, but there isn't there.
The speaker tells us that again. The brain isn't putting the detail in your head at all. It's just making you expect the detail.
People will say that they saw it with consciousness though these might be just little blobs.
Our consciousness is like that.
We see an illusion that our brain is making us expect the detail.
