It is the building of the "model/reality", but it makes sense only through some reality, and consciousness is on the side of that reality, which lead to the utter counter-intuitive idea that to get individual coherence, we need a brain making us less conscious in some sense.

If you look a little way into the future, the world may be dominated by AI robots. One great difference between AI robots and humans is that an AI can directly transmit what it has learned to another AI. It will be as if you could directly transmit what you know to your child. I have sometimes considered what a great advantage it would be if my child could start from what I know and go on to learn more from there. There is so much to know in any technical field that you are 25yrs old before you've learned enough to advance the field. But then I also reflect that there advantages to "starting over" which will bring different perspectives. It's like Darwinian evolution of ideas. You teach kids what you know but that's replicatiion with variation. AI could lead to replication without variation.
