The first floor view in this metaphor is regular guy thinking. They live in reactive thinking. They mostly react to what life presents them. They form goals based on the influences of popular culture. Their introspection is limited to attempting to fit their appearance and life into roles defined by the social order. These minds would take the covid shot. These minds believe their thoughts to be their identity thus if an idea sticks, they can easily become ideologues.
The second floor view is an upgrade in complexity. These minds are self monitoring in real time. They think, and are aware of, and monitoring their thoughts as they are occurring. These minds can discard conclusions when warranted without emotional involvement. These minds do not merge their identity with their thoughts. These minds shun ideology of all kinds, political, religious, et al. These minds know themselves as separate from their thinking.
The second floor view is called meta-cognition. Self monitoring in real time 24x7 leads to a different form of human insofar as social presence and interaction. Meta-cogs are remarkably swift thinkers arriving a conclusions easily and early, and are just as rapid in discarding these conclusions as they are shown to be lacking. Meta-cogs observe themselves thinking and living their lives.
Meta-cogs don’t mingle much with first floor thinkers. It’s just very awkward for everyone.

Meta-cog minds did not take the covid vaxx. Meta-cog minds are the result of a process of mental change over time, an awakening, that moves a human from the first to the second floors within a single life.
That process does not stop with the second floor. The meta-cog is always progressing. The nature of in real time self analysis of thoughts leads, sometimes, in some meta-cogs, to the Third Floor view.

The view from the third floor is quite amazing.
One can see aliens from here.
