Yeah, there are a number of different characteristics of what he calls the Cartesian theater that I think he thinks is,
podcast-host
One, Dylan, you just kind of pointed out is that the Cartesian theater suggests a kind of passivity of reception that he will go on.
podcast-host
And I think he says, you know, the neuroscience is showing that that's not really the way things work.
podcast-host
We're not nearly as passive.
podcast-host
That there's a single...
podcast-host
place or point, a finish line at which all sensations converge to create this theater.
podcast-host
So there's like a point in time at which all things come together and create the picture, the internal image, right?
podcast-host
And then there's, of course, the idea that there is such a place where you could actually see a thing in a point of time and represent it to yourself in that way.
podcast-host
And he's, you know,
podcast-host
Trying to say, hey, man, it's a lot more complicated than that.
podcast-host
And that's actually, I think, we kind of toss away the first chapter, I think, because it's sort of preparatory.
podcast-host
But the idea that there is work being done at the physiological level, we'll call it, I don't want to say pre-conscious, pre-theater, right?
podcast-host
You know, he needs to point this out is that your eyes and your ears, there's a lot of work being done to construct that.
podcast-host
something out of the sensations that are received that would then have to be, quote unquote, presented to your consciousness.
podcast-host
So, in other words, it's a much more complex process and that's the piece at which he's going to start breaking it down.
podcast-host
this is when it's been being experienced.
podcast-host
Right.
podcast-host
And I was trying to lead up to that point was, you know, he's saying, okay, we have all this research now that shows that your eyes do all this work and your ears do all this work.
podcast-host
And if we stick with the Cartesian model, then we think, oh, they're going to,
podcast-host
Do the work and then they're going to sync up and present it to consciousness that this way.
