Det må vara så, men det betyder inte att vårt medvetna reflekterande är utan grund i en större multidimensionell verklighet. I ett utvecklingsperspektiv har det tjänat oss bra.
When I deliberate and choose among the options before me, I am in touch with the relevant processes, the processes of deliberation and choice. I am not in touch with - indeed I am normally clueless about - what causes me to deliberate and weigh my options as I do.
Designing persons to be in first-person touch with high-level proximate causes is a brilliant piece of evolutionary design. Were we in touch with ALL the causes of thought and action, the mind would be much to noisy, and it is doubtful that a noisy mind would enhance fitness. So a design that puts us in touch with proximate causes and screens off distal causes is fitness enhancing.
