Then the goal of lesswrong (in this framework) seems to make brain act like it contains command and control center which corrects for errors caused by another parts of brain. And the list of errors includes the idea that brain contains command and control center. Sophisticated.

We want the cooperative to write down goals and policies in a guiding document (or several documents, in several languages), which the literate members can consult and use to guide their behavior and the behavior of their peers.
