According to GEB, humans have an internal model of their own mind, ergo a conscience. This is what allows them to step out of the system - they can step out of the system within the model.
- swombat 11y agoI'd say the human model of one's own mind is extremely faulty. Bugs in said self-understanding frequently result in conflicts (as we blame everything but our own actions), wars, etc. Anyone who does any coaching work is intensely aware of these limits (in everyone, btw, the coach included!)...
- fao_ 11y agoPerhaps it could instead be rephrased to 'the ability to build an internal model of their own, and other people's mind'?
- sklivvz1971 11y agoYep that goes without saying. The model of something will always be a limited, faulty version for the original.
