Subject: Re: Symbolic vs Situated Action (Re: "Consciousness")

I sometimes tell my classes that,

"People don't think- they just think they think."

A decade ago, this was good for smiles all around.

Now, to my dismay, it's taken seriously.

If you were to qualify that statement by adding "Some" at the beginning, I
don't see why it shouldn't be taken seriously. Maybe the students of a decade
ago took it literally and the students of today are supplying the missing
qualifier.
