Can you lay out Daniel Dennett's "Where am I?" into a clear understandable format?
It is here that one might believe that Dennett commits a mistake by categorizing his body and his brain as two distinct entities. He claims that his brain, after surgery, will be "kept in a safe place, where it can execute its normal control functions by detailed radio links"
The radio links are intended to capture the place of pathways of normal neurological in such a way that "no information would be lost, all the connectivity wil be preserved"
After surgery, there exist a huge temporal gap among his body and his brain, the important connection among the two does'nt appear to be varied than the connection among the body and brain of someone with a "normal" temporal gap. Since the connection is still, the similar regardless of peculiar Dennett's case might be, it could be concluded that Dennett is no more entitled to categorize and name his brain and his body as seperate entities than anyone else.
hus, one may further conclude that the only difference between a "normal" individual and Dennett's hypothetical case is the great temporal gap that exists between the brain and the body in Dennett's case
