Re: Recent News of Interest to the Jaynes Community?

Re: Bicameral Mind As A Dynamic
Jim, complicated subject. The bicameral mind, as theorized by JJ, is a pre-conscious mind, devoid of consciousness as we define it. I suspect from your questions that you haven't read JJ's work. Briefly, -- No, the theory of bicameral mind has nothing to do with "a continuation of the ability t...
