My hypothesis is that it is the emergent capacity for self-referencing in Homo sapiens that concurrently opened the potential for the emergence of "mind." The paradox is that it is, perhaps, these same highly evolved neural structuring mechanisms that allowed the emergence of self-referencing that, perhaps, lethally, constrain our ability to see beyond our own, personal, emergent, virtual world (White, 1992, pp. 58–60, 62–63).
