Yes, 'folk psychology' (beliefs+desires=intentional action) is a compelling theory because it works so successfully in everyday social interactions, but I'm wondering if Yvain has something more planned for why it feels (inside) like we have goals. My guess is that it's because we use the same folk theory to explain our own behavior as to explain others' behavior, but I'm wondering if Yvain has something else in mind.
It's not obvious that folk psychology works well at all except regarding motor actions.
Nope, pretty much that. I'll be presenting a few studies to justify it, but I'm sure you've seen them before.
Ah. Well. They are fun studies. :)
