Julian Jaynes theories.

[Vestmannr]

I'm not sure how to set up a poll here (if I am even able to yet.) I know this is a controversial (and divisive) issue within the Psychological community, and those who seek to define Mind and Consciousness. But I would be interested to see how many have :

A) Read Julian Jaynes "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind." - Think he was a crackpot.

B) Read Julian Jaynes "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind." - Think that though portions of his material is dated, and parts refutable; that his primary theory is strong and most likely true."

C) Read Julian Jaynes "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind." - Treat it as a religious text, and adhere to his ideas Fundamentally.

D) Never heard of it - Dont care.

E) Never heard of it - what is it?

F) Me **** dont read no book, **** intellectual Nordicist! (IOW, dont confuse me, I'm playing with myself/I can barely read enough to navigate the Internet.)

Comments, analysis, and perceptions of Julian Jayne's work is welcome: especially from a Racialist perspective.

I read that book a long time ago. What brought that book to your attention?

I was just re-reading it again recently (the 1990 printing, with the updated Afterword.)
