So the information that you would go out into the world to seek, the mission that you run, depends on who's ascendant at that moment. That's for sure. Okay, fine.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. By which I mean, you've got all these, you know, all these, let's call them personalities under the hood. You know, it's interesting because I think I, maybe I dial it back one step from personality. You've got different neural networks that want different things and we can measure these. Just give an example, which is,

You know, when you're making a financial decision about what you're going to buy, you have certain networks that care about valuation. They care about the price point. And they're thinking, okay, how much is that worth? How much is that worth? Why? So on. You have completely separate networks in front of the lobe that care about the price. predicted emotional experience.

Let's say you're looking at two restaurants that you're trying to choose between. So you're making a simulation of what you see. Oh, that's going to be delicious and good. That one's not going to be so good. You've got other networks that care about the social context. As in, what do my friends think of this? Is this cool or not so cool? All these things, you've got this and more.

They're all battling it out under the hood. Yeah. And they're all trying to steer the ship of state. And when you make a decision... it's because of the vote of the neural parliament. So what's interesting, I do want to get at this because

Your view of a collection of personalities where one of them is dominant and my view of a team of rivals is slightly different in this way, which is that, you know, there's this battle going on and you reach these sort of consensus things, just like in a parliament where different groups will collaborate and coordinate and say, okay, look, you know, two out of three think this and so we're going to go for that restaurant.

Yeah, I think that's exactly right.
