Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

CHAPTER

What About the Instinct to Imitate?

We're really good at abstracting out things to imitate. And so now partly what occurs is the imagination formulates the representation of the abstraction. So if you look, and you often see this byzantine cathedral, it's a dome. Maybe you'll see an image of christ up there as panto crator, great creator of the world. Nd, this is sort of tied with the idea that consciousness gives rise to realty. While the idea is something like that, the thing to be admired is the central phenomena and function of consciousness. In some sense, it gives rise to the reality that it is good, that is good itself.
