In class we talked about our conscious actions (the actions that go through the I-function) and our unconscious actions (actions that our NS is aware of but we are not). The examples were unexpected, we discovered another piece of ‘common knowledge’ that we take for granted every day (for example that we have 5 senses) without really thinking about what lies behind these assumptions. These realizations make me wonder about our explanations of ‘unconscious’ actions or senses beyond the five conscious ones we experience. Some people belief in paranormal phenomena while others say it’s all random or by chance. I’m interested in the I-function, in the knowledge that our NS is aware of but we are not, and how much of it is just random or by chance.
