I Want To Have Full Understanding of Jaynes' Theory

Post by Jimbean »

Are the following statements correct?

Consciousness is a tool that is created within the mind in order to deal with reality.

One expands conscious ability by using metaphors to generate analogs for the person to use.

The more conscious a person is, the less that person is susceptible to external authorities.

When a person has a correct analog (that integrates with reality), it will act as a tool to help a person automatize what he or she needs to do in order to survive or thrive in his or her environment.
