Summary

Conscious thought may be just the surface of a vast, hidden mental system. The brain continuously filters and predicts information, with most processing happening outside awareness. Rather than controlling each thought, the “self” may simply observe automated processes—revealing the mind as a layered, energy-efficient system with limits to introspection.
