Strawman. Dennett doesn't deny that we are aware, what he argues against is the 'singularity' of awareness, the monolithic 'self', the 'Cartesian theatre' view of consciousness (which tends to be the default assumption. Instead, he says that what we call 'consciousness' is the integrated output of many brain functions, an output which (while impressive) is less coherent and consistent than we tend to think it is.

This is really how redditors describe the means of human cognition and perception.

Retard. If I made a clone of you and caused it pain it would not cause you any pain. Why? Different consciousness. And you can’t back-peddle by saying its merely memory because in the very moment of pain the clone would writhe in agony and you would not. Why? There is no sensation of pain for one, but there is for the ofher.

Can't argue yourself what you've supposedly read?

>>13527018
There is no indication of any true dichotomy between the form and content of experience. Furthermore, the so called 'unity of self' is actually quite haphazard and transient when scrutinized... Those who become adept at meditation often come to realize this. The 'prior synthesis' which isn't experienced can easily be exchanged with brain functions we aren't actively aware of.

It's an antiquated argument. If you exchange the hocus-pocus 'transcendentalism' for modern neuroscience, we can offer an explanation for the integration of perception which requires less assumption and abstraction.

>>13527050
Why not? The world is replete with examples of constituent parts interacting to produce emergent phenomena.

>>13527058
There's only a 'hard problem' if you assume the existence of qualia, which is an uncessary assumption (trope theory elegantly obviates qualia). Otherwise it's just a regular -- although difficult -- problem of trying to understand a complex system and the workings of the universe in general.

By the way, this is Epistemological womanhood, i.e. not so much passively accepting something because of its overwhelming quantity, but deliberately choosing quantity alone merely because it's quantitative. And it's cruelly ironic, since a casual glance at what happens to women, Phenomenally, should caution one against thinking like this.
