Nick, I experience the world very differently from you. I have been aware of self observation as a source of inference about oneself ever since I was s student of Bem in the late sixties. I still experience hunger which leads me to eat. I do not infer that I'm hungry by observing that I am preparing to eat. As you and I have discussed many times.
