Greetings,
Seems to me of the debate the lately is predicated on there being a "Cartesian
Me' to choose or have freedom. What does it mean for a 'useful illusion' to
possess such control over its experience?
"This Cartesian 'Me,' this autonomous little homunculus who sits behind our
eyeballs looking out through them in order to pass judgment on the affairs of
the world, is just completely ridiculous. This self-appointed little editor of
reality is just an impossible fiction that collapses the moment one examines
it. This Cartesian 'Me' is a software reality, not a hardware reality. This
body on the left and this body on the right are running variations of the same
program, the same 'Me,' which doesn't belong to either of them. The 'Me's' are
simply a program format.
