Talk:User illusion

Hi, I edited the last sentence from "there may exist entities that exist..." to "there may exist phenomenon..." The word "entities" seemed a bit too mystical, while saying that physical phenomenon may exist but is simply unascertainable by humans seems a bit more reasonable.

The introduction here seems to be about Nørretranders's framing of experience as a construction (as in "umwelt") yet the Criticism section focuses on debunking a notion of evolutionary sociality. As an unfamiliar reader, I am left with the impression the two halves of this page were copy-pasted from other, different pages. Gerwitz (talk) 13:01, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I also read the two halves of this page as not relating directly to each other. Second half is criticisms of "consciousness being a device for justifying preconceptions". But the concept of "user illusion" defined in the final paragraph of the first half, "a simulation produced unconsciously by the brain", is a rather different explanation of consciousness.

Similarity with Donald Hoffman, The Case Against Reality
Would it be worthwhile to mention Hoffman's ideas on this article? He seems to be saying similar things. Jonbesga (talk) 08:24, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
