Internal experience is an input to your mind (that’s how you know about it), and what your mind perceives affects what it does. The better question is: how can what you experience possibly not affect your actions?

What you do is determined by physical action of neurons. There is no need for there to be someone to perceive it.

  • By definition, internal experience is something you perceive, and what you perceive informs how you act. Therefore internal experience affects outward physical action.
