being epiphenomenal

that's right, good, so randomness .. that's what random means .. right, ... ja, ja, ... i see where you are going ... | wright "interviews" dennett at slate.
the video tells more about wright than dennett. "meaningoflife tv", indeed or maybe daniel dennett unimpressed?

the transcript offers something of a dialog, though.

0:37 and something:
Daniel Dennett: Right because epiphenomenalism is exactly as absurd as the following view. Ready?

Wright: Ok.

Daniel Dennett: In every cylinder of every internal combustion engine there are 7 epiphenomenal gremlins. They're caused by the action of the cylinder, they cause nothing internal. They are undetectable by any machine. by any test there couldn't be a gremlin-o-meter. They don't add to the horse power, they don't add to the weight they don't add to the mass. They are completely epiphenomenal.
