There is no such thing as a "hallucination" that could be isolated from "not a hallucination" in a provable systematic way because all they do is hallucinate.

I'm extremely comfortable calling this paper complete and utter bullshit (or, I suppose if I'm being charitable, extremely poorly titled) from the title alone.

- lambdaone 10mo agoArguably, all we do is something similar to hallucination; it's just that hundreds of millions of years have selected against brains that generate internal states that lead to counter-survival behavior. I recently almost fell on a tram as it accelerated suddenly; my arm reached out for a stanchion that was out of my vision, so rapidly I wasn't aware of what I was doing before it had happened. All of this occurred using subconscious processes, based on a non-physical internal mental model of something I literally couldn't see at the moment it happened. Consciousness is over-rated; I believe Thomas Metzinger's work on consciousness (specifically, the illusion of consciousness) captures something really important about the nature of how our minds really work.
