[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.
