By following startswithaj's excellent lesswrong link, I found an interesting doc about the subject : http://www.academia.edu/4589611/Dennett_and_The_Typical_Mind_Fallacy http://www.academia.edu/4589611/Dennett_and_The_Typical_Mind... I noticed it in action recently when watching a David Lynch documentary about Transcendental Meditation where he describes his experience of meditation as "the cables of and elevator being cut and falling into oneness." My first thought was that Lynch has a very unique mind and probably doesn't realize that is not a very typical experience during meditation, but bless his heart, he wants everyone to have it.
