You don't even know..or cant coherently explain, why -you- think what you do. That's laying aside the plain reading..that you have an incoherent thought process, for generosity's sake, alone... - which..just like before, is at least a possibility that is unlikely to impact your daily function.How would experience be invalid? It's not a position, a philosophy, or a world view. I don't see that there's anything about it that CAN be invalid. What can be invalid are interpretations about the objectivity of experienced objects-- but that's really not the same thing.
I don't think a sense of self can be, or need be, interpreted. It's not a conclusion or an inference. It's just a label for whatever-it-is.
