You can brand it woo or a delusion, but you can't make it go away.
Indeed not. For instance, people still believe in astrology while having an university degree.
These kinds of things will never go away.
And your understanding of sensory analysis is dependent on the woo.
As much as you'd like that to be true, it isn't. I don't need the "woo", just empirical questioning, experimentation, lots and lots and lots of work. Eventually, we will have a good theory about consciousness. And people won't like it.
And as for his video, that our minds form additional patterns from sensory input according to loosely set rules isn't much of a hammer blow against consciousness.
Ah, so you haven't seen the video entirely, coz you just missed the entire thesis of it. That's ok, you skimmed and you didn't like it, just don't pretend you have seen it because it's obvious you didn't. It's your loss anyway, and I don't really care that much since I don't even know you.
