Re: I Want To Have Full Understanding of Jaynes' Theory
When a person has a correct analog (that integrates with reality), it will act as a tool to help a person automatize what he or she needs to do in order to survive or thrive in his or her environment.

Re: Bicameral Mind As A Dynamic
Well, to correct this up a bit:
Automatizing reactions is natural for people to do simply to conserve energy. We spend most of our time recalling information instead of constantly being aware. So the correct statement is being consciously aware is not being automatic.

Are the following statements correct? Consciousness is a tool that is created within the mind in order to deal with reality. One expands conscious ability by using metaphors to generate analogs for the person to use. The more conscious a person is, the less that person is susceptible to external aut...
