Our Brain in Survival Mode
I DON’T THINK, THEREFORE YOU DON’T THINK
Our model of ourselves is a special case of our model of other people
If I’m just a helpless object, subjected to some external, uncontrollable force…well then so are you.
In that case, what’s the point in trying to understand my or your motivations, needs, desires?
The result of limited agency is a very primitive, superficial and generic model of the logic of our own and others’ internal experiences.
