The illusion of consciousness | Dan Dennett
TED
Philosopher Dan Dennett argues in a TED talk that we do not understand our own consciousness and that our brains often fool us. He uses perceptual examples, including a painting that invites the viewer to fill in detail.
HN recommends it as a short route to Dennett's view of consciousness as a bag of tricks, often in AI and cognition threads.
