This hypothesis is bullshit. There are far more than just two consciousnesses.
Right? And they talk a lot with me. Actually sometimes they wont shut up.
Unrelated but “consciousnesses” sounds kinda funny
we should go with "conscii"
It certainly feels like that at times. The key being the non verbal part, it's the part that feels things i can't explain, like I have to poke and probe some part of my brain by imagining, to try and see how it reacts to certain thoughts and observe the emotions, then try to put it into words to explain it to the conscious part of my mind. Like, the subconscious is not unconscious, it's perfectly conscious just not verbal.
make us whole
Well looks like someone broke the barrier because the smart ass up there is always giving me shit!
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.
We are all a little crazy on this blessed day
Inside you there are 2 wolves
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.
Dual consciousness is not exactly proven though, so idk what to think. Hope researchers shed more light down the road
You mean the wolves?
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
