having to include the Cartesian theater. podcast-host

Yeah, and your typical set of receptors. podcast-host

You have the so basically you put all the qualifications in that in a particular kind of environment that takes care of all the external factors and a particular configuration of receptors that take care of all of the receiving portions, then you will all agree on the same caller. podcast-host

And I think basically that what Dennett is saying is the multiple drafts model and podcast-host

The account that I've given of how multiple drafts models is provides a simpler and more straightforward explanation of the experience and the phenomenology of color and the way at which it works amongst us as both human beings as well as our account for how it works amongst other creatures. podcast-host

So who would say that? podcast-host

He's podcast-host

Yeah, and that's in his understanding the downfall of them. podcast-host

And at the end of what you just read, Mark, he says he is denying that they exist, but he wholeheartedly agrees that there seems to be qualia, because it really does seem as if science has shown us that the colors can't be out there and hence must be in here. podcast-host

So he's sort of turning, part of this is him turning and saying, Well, look, the reason why people talk about qualia. podcast-host

Is it seems manifest by our experience that we perceive color, but science seems to undermine the notion that color exists. podcast-host

And so how do I get to there being something agreement between what feels like my manifest experience and my scientific account? podcast-host

And the qualia people, he would say, add it as a feature of our intrinsic capabilities, our raw feels that give us color. podcast-host

And he's gonna provide a different account that podcast-host

also allows us to talk about color. podcast-host

Yeah. podcast-host

And the way he analyzes this, this is on 373 through 375, right? podcast-host

Is that he basically goes through we could talk about colors and discriminative states, and we're just gonna talk about a green, what the the different colors of red are. podcast-host

And you can compare the states of the colors of things in the world by putting them side by side and looking at them to see what judgment we reach. podcast-host

But we can also compare the colors of things just by recalling or imagining them in our minds. podcast-host
