[edit]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
[edit]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)
