So to distil it a bit, scientists have discovered that the same
neurons we use for doing stuff, can also change the subject from
'self' to 'other' and then simulate stuff instead.

Should we use this concept in AI?  Absolutely.  Can we do it yet?  Not
until the field of cognitive modelling matures a bit.
