Dannetts argument is basically, you don't know what goes on inside your mind because stories that you tell yourself about your mind are wrong.

His conclusion is that the stories about consciousness are probably also wrong.

Since he doesn't believe in real consciousness, it is natural that he doesn't talk about real consciousness
