ZtL discovered 14 months ago- From the page: "Philosopher Dan Dennett makes a compelling argument that not only don't we understand our own consciousness, but that half the time our brains are actively fooling us. "

Can we know our own minds. How should I know! A brief,consciousness-altering tutorial with Dan Dennett
Dan Dennett received his BA in philosophy from Harvard in 1963, where he was a student of WV Quine, and in 1965, his D Phil in philosophy from Christ Church, Oxford, where he studied under the ordinary language philosopher Gilbert Ryle. While at Oxford, Dennett has claimed, he introduced the first frisbee to the United Kingdom. He describes himself as "an autodidact -- or, more properly, the beneficiary of hundreds of hours of informal tutorials on all the fields that interest me, from some of the world's leading scientists." A brilliant introductory article here:

- Recently on debate.com I've been getting hassled because I tell people in effect what/how they think at times. Well, I'm not being arrogant, I'm simply being outside. I love this talk.

- I can't believe I haven't written a review of this. . . Well, it is required material for anyone trying to get themselves or anyone else. This is not because it offers direct psychological survival hints, but makes it clear just what the limits of self-knowledge are. Put bluntly, we shouldn't be as sure of and impressed with as much of our minds as we tend to be.
