It seems obvious to me - it&#x27;s privileged because it&#x27;s what&#x27;s used to tell stories about your sensory data. It&#x27;s very easy to identify with that part of yourself, but that&#x27;s not the only way to go about things. One of the more common other ways is usually called &quot;flow&quot;, where the sports-playing &#x2F; problem-solving part of the mind is basically the entire thing that you&#x27;re experiencing.<p>In other words, that representation is privileged because the environment often demands story-telling from you. In situations where it doesn&#x27;t, you get very different experiences (like flow states, or long solo wilderness hikes).
