Thank you for that elucidation. I agree with what you say except to prefer “errant” to “illusion” as the best way to describe our own personal worldview.

The quote you give from Barrett as a good example of how neuroscience ignores what Immanuel Kant said about the mind, when he brilliantly refuted exactly that opinion that had been advanced by David Hume.
