This post is about science. How can we think about psychology and neuroscience in a clear and correct way? “What’s really going on” in the brain and mind?
By contrast, nothing in this post (or the rest of this series), is practical advice about how to be mentally healthy, or how to carry on a conversation, etc. (Related: §1.3.3.)
OK, that makes sense. I forgot about that part, and probably underestimated its meaning when I read it.
Seems to me that a large part of this all is about how modeling how other people model me is… on one hand, necessary for social interactions with other people… on the other hand, it seems to create some illusions that prevent us from understanding what’s really going on.
Huh, funny you think that. From my perspective, “modeling how other people model me” is not relevant to this post. I don’t see anywhere that I even mentioned it. It hardly comes up anywhere else in the series either.

Does that help? Sorry if that was unclear.
