Cartesian Theater vs. Multiple-Drafts Model?

Question:I want to adopt the Multiple drafts model of consciousness into my beliefs, but I still can't resolve the fact that I still have a theater like conception of reality.
I know that Dennett argues that we have these conceptions just because it is how we are raised to think about the world but I do not buy it. I think at some fundamental level a component of this Cartesian experience is innate.
Does anyone have a way to resolve my dilemma?

*On a side note, in the coming weeks I will actually get to meet Daniel Dennett and I hope to ask him this question in person, anybody have other questions for me to ask him?

As a close friend, and former student of Dan Dennett, I know that he always responds to e-mail, even from complete strangers. Don't think that your in-person meeting is your only chance to get an answer from him.

Mail him anytime at ddennett@tufts.edu - he's always up for an intellectual tete-a-tete.
