Bicameral Mentality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicameral_mentality

It's a concept that is quite well explored by the first season of Westworld.

Either I was too high watching it or no it fuckin wasn't

I will accept either explanation

Probably the first haha, it's the name of the finale episode of the first season and it's even mentioned in the Wikipedia article I linked.

And neither one has access to speech

Mine share the same lonely neuron.

The only thing I can think of that this could refer to is split brain patients who have undergone a specific medial procedure once used to treat epilepsy. It's possible, although not well understood, that the two halves of their brain operate sort of independently, and only one has access to speech.

It's a very interesting topic, well worth diving into! But it's also very muddy, there is contrasting evidence for and against the "two mind" theory.

Anyway, I'm fairly certain this "theory" does not apply to healthy brains which have not undergone this procedure.

It's the same as the old devil v angel on your shoulder bit. There's a left hemisphere mode of understanding, a right hemisphere mode of understanding, and there's what happens when they're well integrated, which is mostly only achievable through meditation.

Just for the record, the left brain is the denialist, which offers hypotheticals and which takes the behaviour of others and places it firmly outside yourself, edifying the lie you tell yourself that you are separate and different from the other largely identical monkeys. The right brain tends to communicate in gestalts and complete pictures, without negativity and possibly without reference to individuality; YMMV.

Dual consciousness is not exactly proven though, so idk what to think. Hope researchers shed more light down the road

Split brain experiment

Check out- Thinking, Fast and Slow By: Daniel Kahneman

It deals with the concepts of two minds in one. System one and system two

Basically only for people with an internal monologue. Stupid-ass meme.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

OK but what is a "conscience entity"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
