I think it’s more of a misleading title, combined with the usual meandering style that philosophers have. What he’s basically saying is that we consciously experience the outputs of a number of expert systems: those responsible for seeing, hearing, selecting what should be attended to, and that even thought is a kind of expert system to which we have no internal access. We know that we think, that we see and hear, but we don’t know the details of how it happens, nor do we experience the details of this processing. It’s not really very revolutionary, we already know this and it seems obvious when pointed out, it also does nothing to explain how experience of those outputs arises, or what it is.
