    The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind

    this is one of the best books I have ever read. Its not an easy read but you will get a lot out of it.

    I highly recommend you pick it up or you can actually read the entire book online for free here ... http://s-f-walker.org.uk/pubsebooks/...sciousness.pdf

    Had to read that, or parts of that in a philosophy of mind class. Started with Decartes and this was sprinkled in there.

    One mind, Zeit Geist, this China mind experiment. Awesome shit.

    This one made me think, and to this day I am always waiting for scientists to explain consciousness with physical data.

    it is maybe the most fascinating book I've read. Lots of great facts along with great hypothesis by the author.

    well, Dwightie I have the book in front of me right now, we can discuss it. Since it is the most fascinating book you have ever read (btw you never read one book in your life including this one) you even robbed the above sentence because you can't even explain to me what a hypothesis is.

    maybe I am wrong, reply and we can discuss this great book--page by page. It is right here in front of me. If I claimed a book I read was the most fascinating book I would be able to discuss it with the author himself, I would be able to critique it by writing a small pamphlet. So let us discuss it like two educated individuals.

    yes this book is fourth-year university reading, the thought of Dwightie reading it is incomprehensible. We are speaking/writing about a man who doesn't know what USA prohibition was about, a man who could not define the study of economics, a man who has a vocabulary less than triple digits.

    but maybe I am wrong, let us see if he responds. I would love him to explain even the very first page. Just the first page.

    I read this book about 20 years ago and I haven't read many better since then. One of the things I remember about it is that modern man can contemplate things similar to though he is talking to another entity. It happens when we think about making decisions.

    However, early man's mind didn't have the awareness of such because his mind hadn't developed bicamerality (two distinct divisions) and therefore when he had to make decisions the other "voice" was thought to be of the gods or some other guiding force.

    This is why religion was so important to early man and was also so pervasive among separated human populations.

    well this is the book you were bragging about, and you reposted it again. lol

    so I guess you are lying, btw, did you edit the word hypothesis, I seem to remember you using that word, maybe it is somewhere else or did you edit it?

    doesn't matter obviously this is the book you recommended, thus you were bragging about it, thus you read it, many of us want to hear your report on this book. lol

    and I thought you weren't going to speak about it "anymore" . you retarded asshole.


    report on the book.

    oh here it is. I found it, he claims it is the most fascinating book he has ever read. Problem is he didn't read it and he never read one book in his life. a great hypothesis, that is robbed from another book review, he doesn't know what hypothesis means. but he can prove me a liar by reporting on this book.

    I knew I read that word somewhere by this asshole, 20 minutes ago he wrote he was NOT BRAGGING ABOUT THIS BOOK. fckin lies every day.

    and when caught red-handed, without a place to hide, he runs away. Puff the magic dragon and puff he is gone.

    My friends, do you see this thread in which Dwightie is bragging about a book. I highlighted it and gave it a bigger font so it is easy to see. Well, in another thread in another subforum (politics) this man is claiming he never bragged about this book.

    however, now he is claiming he never bragged about this book. the man lies almost as often as DT. almost!

    I read a really good book the other day though called Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. Read that in a day.

    I don't know. It seems pretty obvious that while Dwight may have never read the book, he wrote the book 40+ years ago and is just trying to drum up sales.

    here it is guys/gals, here is the thread that the idiot produced (which he is now claiming doesn't exist) this asshole wrote this BS article concerning the above book and claims months later, that he did no such thing. He lies as often as Trump.

    Right, today again he is denying this post. how much of an asshole must you be to deny something, call the accuser a liar, and continue with the same BS even when the proof was penned by the asshole in black and white?

    And you correct I believe it was written many decades ago.

    Think my shit is tricameral. Shit never shuts up. Got three trains of thought going. No clue if that’s a thing. With all those thoughts going I’m still a dense fck that probably couldn’t get past page 2.

    Haha.

    A client from Arkansas send it to me before I went on my 3 month trip to New Zealand, Australia and SE Asia. I am glad I took it because there was a lot of travel time. I never claimed it was an easy read or not. Just that I really enjoyed it and recommend it.

    Pretty sure it was the same for me when I first started it. I was thinking something like "WTF is this shit?" Glad I read it.

    Liar.

    You are totally insane.

    Of course I recommended this book. I created a new thread about it 5 years ago .... recommending the book. Duh!

    You claimed that I bragged about this book. First if all, I don't even know what that means. How can I brag about a book I never wrote? What could I be possible bragging about? Nothing is the answer. What did you do again? You made up another false accusation and went on another baseless tirade. LOL. You only showed how unhinged you are.

    I recommended a book is all. Yup a book. Literally this is all I did. Nothing else. You lost your mind again. Nothing new. Wow.

    I am not gonna discuss any book with an immature unhinged little child such as yourself. I told you this several times. Ask me 1000 times more if you want. I will just sit back and watch you meltdown and embarrass yourself again. LOL.
