“…[T]heory of mind has come to be a central concern for social brain theorists and a key element in their explanatory repertoire. One dimension has come to be termed mentalization—a kind of built-in intersubjectivity in human experience, perhaps shared with some other primates. Mentalization refers to the ‘largely automatic process by which we “read” the mental states of others’ and which helps us make predictions about their future actions.” —Neuro [145]
Intersubjectivity
Another fancy word for it
—Intersubjectivity—
It seems the Noble Sciences
Have found what we call “Nwyvre”
In a seeming act of almost pure
Serendipity.
The interweaving web of World
(though not the ‘world wide web’)
They say hides in everything
So all the little boys and girls
Don’t need to say anything
Intersubjectivity—
I suddenly hear Science sing.
The secret web within the planet—
Intersubjectivity.
No single one of us can plan it,
Not you alone or him or me.
Now ‘mentalize’ this, goddamnit,
It’s not just automatically.
