I think it's interesting, not only that people have different intuitions, but also that it's quite hard (at least without the use of intuition pumps) to get them to focus on what's supposed to be the key issue. <BR/><BR/>It would be good to have some serious psychological research on how people respond to differently phrased questions about the nature of experience. <BR/><BR/>--------<BR/>Dan, <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment. Indeed both views have been put forward as obvious from introspection -- sometimes by different time-slices of the same person!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26951738.post-15251996121834782992007-08-07T06:25:00.000-07:002007-08-07T06:25:00.000-07:00Hi Keith,That's pretty interesting.
