The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast · Ep. 399: Dan Dennett's Model of Mind (Part One) · 31 Aug 2026 podcast

You know, does that mean that we actually get the second input and then we retroactively go back and construct the experience we quote unquote go back in time? podcast-host

And, you know, he's like, this is really weird and screwy. podcast-host

And it just shows that the simplistic model that we have podcast-host

in the Cartesian theater model, but in general, it's just totally untenable. podcast-host

And that is kind of freaky when you think about it. podcast-host

it also kind of assumes that there's a real fact of the matter a real memory a real linear process of substituting one thing for another podcast-host

I didn't think about this as I was studying, but it's coming up now. podcast-host

It's like what he's pointing to is that consciousness isn't, I don't even know how to say this guy, so I'm just going to give me a little latitude, but that it goes back to this idea of patterns or structures. podcast-host

It's like we can only experience things structurally. podcast-host

It has to be structured for us to experience it. podcast-host

So just think of it this way, right? podcast-host

Here's an analogy. podcast-host

Suppose you have a simple sentence with a subject, a verb, and an object. podcast-host

And that's the structure. podcast-host

You can only experience things with subject, verb, objects. podcast-host

And what's happening is when you experience is most of the time, there's a clear and obvious and single subject, a clear and obvious and single verb, and a clear and obvious and single object. podcast-host

But there will be times... podcast-host

when there might be a choice between two subjects or two verbs or three objects or what have you, or there might be a time when there's no subject. podcast-host

And so, for you to have experience at all, you have to kind of either make a choice when there's a plurality or fill in the blank when there's an absence. podcast-host

if that makes sense. podcast-host
