Mental World
We are embedded in the mental world of others just as we are embedded in the physical world. What we are currently doing and thinking is molded by whomever we are interacting with. But this is not how we experience ourselves. We experience ourselves as agents with minds of our own. This is the final illusion created by our brains.
By making models of the minds of others (in the same way that it makes models of the physical world), my brain enables me to enter a shared mental world.

Our Mental Models
By sharing my mental world with others, I can also learn from their experiences and adopt the models of others that are better than my own. From this process, truth and progress can emerge, but so can deception and mass delusions.
There is something even more remarkable than our ability to share our mental models of the world and create composite and better models.
This is the ability of a few extraordinary individuals to transmit their experiences to us across time. To transmit their experiences even though we can never meet them face-to-face and close the communication loop.
