Daniel Dennett : Kinds of Minds - 06 Our Minds and Other Minds

My notes:

Visually: 22 minutes -a series of about ten slides over and over with the authors voice over.

He compress how we think we think with how we actually think, and using that observations shows that our thinking of animal thinking is most likely flawed also.

Gets into pain and disassociation.

.
Gets into dogs vrs. cats -

interesting idea, and I dont know if he actually says or inplies- that our conciousness comes as we learn language.
