I don't think it's saying anything too shocking to admit this is all a metaphor for people; I'm going to be pushing the view that people's thoughts and words are a byproduct of the processes that determine behavior rather than directly controlling them. I anticipate providing at least a partial answer to your question in about two weeks; if that doesn't satisfy you, let me know and we can talk about it then.
What I meant was that if the intelligence part is utterly passive re the behavior, then I'm unsure as to how strong a metaphor it is for human behavior. Yes, we sometimes don't know why we do things, or we have inaccurate models of ourselves as far as our explanations of why we do what we do. But the "intelligence part" having absolutely no affect on the actions?
But, perhaps all will be resolved in two weeks. :)
