"We are systems, so to speak, that look through their own representational structures, as if they were in direct and immediate contact with their content."

i'm guessing this bloke is talking to 7 year olds as a primer for adult education.

It seems that Timothy Leary had a far better model than this Thomas Metzinger fellow.
Forty years forward and fifty years behind. The anti-Leary propaganda is obviously still working.

@hrantnano You're starting to sound like an ancient Greek. "Matter is composed of atoms. Nothing new here"

@robopsychology 'Ego Tunnel' is *way* easier to understand than 'Being No One'. Definitely a better place to start.
(Unfortunately for me, it was too introductory, so I'm stuck - I can't understand BNO and ET is too easy.)

the intro music sounds like something from a pornmovie
-
Useful part of the talk begins at 10:20

what is that noise in the background that sounds like a dog barking..... this is seriously starting to annoy me 13 minutes in
-
very interesting approach to cognition... My non existent self is curious to read one of his books. I see the "Ego tunnel" is less than half the size of "being no one", and also it seems to have better reviews. Has anyone read those books? Any opinions?
thanx!
