Pope Michael and the Bicameral Mind

In Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, Book III, Chapter 6, p. 435, Jaynes stated "The changes in the Catholic Church since Vatican II can certainly be scanned in terms of this long retreat from the sacred which has followed the inception of consciousness into the human species." However, sin...

Re: What If Ancient People Really Were Hearing The Gods?

I realize that this is a very "hard sell" in this day and age. However, it seems more plausible than the evo-psych explanation provided by Jaynes. It would seem implausible that all those millions of people would have hallucinated unreality for thousands of years simply because it was a co...

What If Ancient People Really Were Hearing The Gods?

There is one truly troublesome part of Jaynes's thesis which is: What if "hallucinations" don't figure into this at all, and all those ancient people really were hearing the Gods? What if the Gods really are angry at us because we became impudent? Or because they were attacked by evil demo...

The Analog "I" and the Regular "I"

I don't understand the difference between Jaynes's "analog I" and the regular I.

Surely people had a regular pronoun "I" during the bicameral period. What is the difference between this and the "analog I".

Vatican II and the Bicameral Mind

Dear Everyone, In Jaynes' book, it says "The changes in the Catholic Church since Vatican II can certainly be scanned in terms of this long retreat from the sacred which has followed the inception of consciousness into the human species." I am not catholic myself, so I really don't know ex...

Re: Is Frank Chu Bicameral?

What's interesting though is that Frank's brother Jack claims that Frank showed none of these behaviors during his childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood. Frank was a normal person, a straight-A student in high school, and he became this way in the middle of college. That is when Frank started r...

Is Frank Chu Bicameral?

Dear Everyone, There is this man living in San Francisco named Frank Chu who claims that he and his family were secretly filmed by the CIA and that the footage was beamed to distant galaxies where it was made into a movie called "The Richest Family", but that Bill Clinton used his presiden...
