Ayo @herschel - meant to get back to this sooner. Wanted to say the same thing as I did for Lux's comment - I think this missed visibility because it was a comment instead of a post, so it'd be awesome if you wanted to share it as a new post in the ~FiresidePhilosophy territory! There's some thought provoking stuff here, I bet others would definitely find it interesting.

**CONSCIOUSNESS: THE END OF FALSE AUTHORITY** -- by Frank R. Wallace

**Disclaimer:**  I'm not all-in on Jaynes. Some of these numbers are speculative. That is not the point. Regardless of Jaynes' chronological accuracy or inaccuracy, the points he's making about the hemispheres and the Neo-cortex are fascinating and revealing.

Wallace does an incredible breakdown (get it?) here of *Julian Jaynes's* book, *The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind.* This article won the first place *National Writer's Club Award* as best nonfiction article of 1980.
