(2/2) Some researchers argue that we can’t know what people subjectively experience. All we know is what people *think* they experience. This drives skepticism towards consciousness research. I show that these worries are unwarranted. We can objectively know what people see.

Alcino Silva and colleagues (including me) built ResearchMaps.org to help address this issue.

I would be grateful to be added to this feed, @johanneskleiner.bsky.social.

William James offered three options in 1898: • produce • permit • transmit.

This reminds me of the following: “Where causation is concerned, a grain of wise subjectivity tells us more about the real world than any amount of objectivity.” —Judea Pearl & Dana Mackenzie, The Book of Why

Thank you for your work!
