EARLY EXPANSION OF EAST

Look at us humans. Mind-reading, as humans practice it, revolves around
self-knowledge. We discover by introspection the intimate story of our
selves. Then, when we want to model the mind of someone else, we
construct the other's mind in the image of our own. We assume the other to
be a conscious subject who thinks and feels in the way we've learned that
we do. Then we read into them the mental states that we would have if we
were in their place, and we expect the thoughts and actions that flow from
these states to follow the same path as they would for us. We can do this
because—but only because—we've experienced these very states of mind
ourselves and seen for ourselves how they connect.
