Re 1)
It is advantageous to predict what other humans are doing, so it makes sense for your brain to create a simulation of the world with other humans in it. To try different scenarios, it adds "you" to the simulation, figures out what the best decision is and then puts that decision into "you" (as in, you can measure that your brain makes a decision before you become consciously aware of it).
- Tozen 4y agoSeems like we should not stop at just what other humans are doing, as clearly attempting to predict what other animals might do or the environment around us would be just as important.
