Is saying it "meshes with specific other results" just a signal of cognitive bias?
I personally would confidently guess there are unconscious faculties in the mind, but I dont see how this experiment is remarkable in proving this, see here(1). Is it not an equally likely conclusion that the brain takes a few hundreds of a second to develop a conscious decision? Actually, the inverse of that is what would be remarkable.

- azernik 8y agoThe issue isn't whether a decision is unconscious or conscious. It's that we often think that we've made a conscious decision when the decision process we narrate for ourselves and others is provably impossible. I should have phrased the original as "it is a relatively weak example of this specific set of experimental results".
