"The Illusion of Consciousness"
Dan Dennett, Tufts University
We’ll start by viewing Dr. Dennett’s TED talk, then move to a discussion of the talk and the issues Dr. Dennett raises. A brief summary of his talk:
Philosopher Dan Dennett makes a compelling argument that not only do we not understand our own consciousness, but that half the time our brains are actively fooling us.
