Interesting, but if he wants his theory ("awareness is modelling of attention") to gain traction, he needs to address what is different about the modelling of human attention, that leads to our heightened self-awareness. Every good predator seems to have keen attention modelling skills, but so few appear to be self-aware.

(Just noticed that what I've written is kinda similar to what Outlander said).
