Hmm, the quote that demonstrates this issue the most is: “But there is a hidden problem with the observer technique, which becomes obvious once you think about it. Who is the observer? Who is this person who is behind the binoculars, watching your experience from the outside?”, but that is of course a quote rather than a peice of text you wrote yourself.
I also feel it applies somewhat to the discussion of the sense of looking out at the world from behind your eye. I think you’re implying that the fact that we can observe this system implies that it is a seperate sub-agent from the system observing this sense, but reflective programs seem to demonstrate that this isn’t necessarily the case.
