Mind = bunch of circuits that uses language to deliberate.
Brain creates a "synthetic" mind and gives it the complex problems to deliberate on and solve. Then brain takes output of "mind."
Our synthetic mind feels a "virtual" body created by nerve inputs.
All we are aware of are 1) the deliberation circuits using language "out loud" to make decisions 2) virtual body mapping.
Language area was not conscious at first. It was used to make decisions with other people. The brain ran decisions to this area to get output of other people. Then it started "talking to itself" = consciousness.
