Thought fakes identity (I or the self) through separation. And then gives itself continuity or protection through purpose (rights and wants).

"The intellect has not helped me..." - UG
Intellect is the showman that runs the transactional world (or the superimposed reality -UG)
Demonstrably, intellect (methodical, refined thinking) is capable of dealing with myriad problems of existence, whether it is learning a technique, finding a job, building a home, driving a car, using a computer...so on.
This gives rise to the erroneous notion that intellect is a comprehensive 'problem solver'.
Problems born of thinking, cannot be solved by thinking.

Conditioning is layered atop biology for the sole purpose of 'functioning sanely and intelligently (sic) in the world.'
