I laughed. Out loud. Although I suspect the same accusation could be levelled at every attempt at a scientific theory of consciousness?https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/972985523206795266 …

Technically, we're partially aware of the immediate past. Most of the contents of consciousness are comprised of composited reflexive recall, though it's useful in many cases to refer to it as the present, as it tells us volumes more than what we're physically detecting.

I suspect that our interactions with the present are completely reactive, and the conscious narrative is only created in hindsight, for learning purposes.

I don't find enough time for writing these days. I give an intro to these ideas here: https://youtu.be/qonB9eP0sM0?t=44m13s … It is all not terribly original, because the ideas are kinda obvious. I think that Graziano, Drescher, Dennett, Frankish and many others had similar ideas.

Maybe I'm just behind on the reading list ; is there something longer than a tweet you might point me to that pinpoints, on what you can study that is both observable and (not-question-beggingly) mental or conscious?

How would you measure the difference with between being conscious in the moment, but observation of that awareness can only be done from memory?

Rapidly changing stimuli, Libet style experiments, attention overrides, ... all of which has actually already been done. We know that we are not aware of the "here and now".
