Hey John. I have bookmarked this awesome website and will be spending a lot of time there I’m sure. Thank you.
This brings to mind a book I' have in my hand right now, Julian Jaynes ‘The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind’. An old hardcover edition I’ve read 3 times in the last 30 years. There was a website dedicated to his work years ago I imagine is still up but may not be to active.
A Really good book by one of his students is ‘Gods, Voices and the Bicameral Mind’ by Marcel Kuijsten.
You mus know of the recent and current works by Ian McGilchrist, ‘The Master and His Emissary’, and, ‘The Matter With Things”. He has a strong web and YouTube presence. I have his books and need to dig deeper into his material which could take a looogn time as you might say:)

Thanks for visiting the bigger comments section, Dennis. I have meant to read Julian Jaynes ‘The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind’, since I heard about it around the time I graduated from high school in 1976, but now I have at least read the Wikipedia on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Origin_of_Consciousness_in_the_Breakdown_of_the_Bicameral_Mind
'Abandoning the assumption that consciousness is innate, Jaynes explains it instead as a learned behavior that "arises [...] from language, and specifically from metaphor."'
I can remember being consciuos at about age 10-11 months, and recall every word spoken by my grandmother and grandfather in a specific 15 minute or so episode. It was a pretty special day, though. I was walking really well without holding a finger, and climbed to the top of the bamboo curtains when they left me sitting on the couch for a few minutes. "Stay right here, Wick, we will be right back" said Grandmother clearly and distinctly, looking into my eyes.
A while later, when she entered the den again, she looked up at me, across the room, perched with a big smile on my face up near the ceiling, holding the bamboo firmly.
Without breaking her gaze into my eyes, and with her calm, firm voice, she said with a little lilt, "Warren, come see what Wick has done".
My tall, lean Grandfather came into the doorway, looking down at her as he entered, then up at me, smiling across the room. "Oh, I see", he said, smiling at me and striding across the room, reaching well up above his own head to take hold of me under my arms and lift me off the bamboo slats.
Fluoride was put in the water because it's an industrial waste and processing fluoride is expensive....so just dump it in the water supply! Corporations will do any amount of damage to our kids if it saves them a few dollars--I'm talking about you, Johnson and Johnson, who is still trying to dodge a $4 billion judgment for allowing asbestos in its baby powder....
It is amazing the lack of concern by our politicians about pesticides that are destroying the organisms in the soil, which provide nutrients to the crops. Dead soil! Dead People! Then, there is Massachusetts, which voted for fluoride in the water, which damages the human mind and lowers the I.Q. Worldwide people are injured and dead, because of the CV-19 mRNA Vax, but no politician or government leader is doing anything about it. This dangerous vaccine is still be promoted. The WHO promotes its lab-created Vax in handling its population reduction program. I do hope our government got us out of the IHR Amendments... Are politicians totally ignorant about what is going on in the world or just focused on their own personal agendas and money?
Stephan finds hints in the Bible about the polytheistic origins of Judaism, but he curiously leaves out the fact that in all the Jewish prayers we never mention "El" but always "Elohim", which is plural.

I had climbed up way above grandfather's head!

Thank you Dr. John for your continued efforts to compile noteworthy events with sparse but sensible commentary.
May you live long and prosper!

Mostly selfish interests and don't want to consider the consequences of the actions they are bribed and blackmailed to take.

If I knew him, I'd tell him, but it just came up as I was scrounging the internets, as I do...
It is almost like Trump sincerely believes we get all our information from $MSM and Facebook and Truth Social
