    She does a good job explaining how mind-body dualism is a fundamentally flawed idea. And very much agree that consciousness is basically a result of feedback mechanism.

We need to model ourselves to be able to reason about ourselves, do introspection of our actions, and to be able to adjust our behaviors.
