Hi Eric,

I'm also interested in this question.  It seems to go both ways depending on the issue.

What are some of the ways you think it would be easy to check for this?  You need to survey for perceptions of consensus right?  To compare with real survey results?

I've always thought that free will compatibilism (my view) was a minority position.  Happy to see it has the highest consensus in this survey, but I've always figured that expert philosophers (the target of this survey) were compatibilists, while the general population is not.

I've always thought that the view that perception is representational was a minority view, even among expert philosophers.  Surprisingly, this, also, seems to be in the consensus here, though I suspect that a decade ago, it was much less well accepted?  Would anyone else agree?

It is definitely fun to find other people that agree with you, and to know definitively who disagrees with you and why.  The consciousness survey project we are working on at canonizer.com has sure been surprizing.  Though it takes much more work for the participators, it much more definitively defines what people do and do not agree with.  I'm always surprized to find out how many people do agree with me, and in various lessor important ways how they still disagree.
