That conclusion I just find really weird.
podcast-host
If I see a mirage, why is that not an experience?
podcast-host
of it even though the conclusions about what it was might be different than my immediate experience right yes there's a whole bunch of judgments involved
podcast-host
look like.
podcast-host
Yes, you will ultimately do that depending upon the rest of the context of the experience.

It all seems to me that in the end, one of the main things that Dennett is saying that all experience is really judgments.
podcast-host
And that those judgments involve a... This is the multiple drafts model that when you begin to call an experience, you bring it together into a judgment about something.
podcast-host
And that judgment is...
podcast-host
In a, it seems to me, plainly straightforward way, it comes with assumptions and contingencies associated with it.

podcast-host
It's an illusion where because of the way in which I process this kind of visual stimuli and the way in which I bring assumptions about how things move in the world, that I then make the conclusion that it was moving across the page.
podcast-host
I guess what I'm finding, I'm losing the thread of why the conclusion that our experience is really a sequence or all sorts of judgments going on is so strange.
podcast-host
What does that deny or what is that running your ground with?
