What Is Different About Intentions and Decisions?
I like to think about because it's one of the kind of models of a mind that's fairly well understood and that's discussed a lot in the biological literature. Think of a frog brain instead of a cat. You know the things that we do aren't simply a product of the ways in which the hard structure in our heads was designed by evolutionary processes. Our minds were designed to be these sort of information socks. And when we make a decision it's those bodies of information again that haven't just been collected and made an impact or imprinted on our brains but been collected and sorted through and contemplated. Those are the things that get brought to bear on behavior.
