[QUOTE="Citizen Butterfly, post: 179933, member: 11059"] Thanks for sharing! Have listened to a summary of the book you recommended, on Youtube It has given me much to think about, this is what I have come up with: (having synthesised Jaynes and Simulation Theory - which I subscribe to) In the past, i.e. the stone age The Simulation communicated directly, into the animalistic minds of early humans - to guide and control them in their development from a state of nature (hunter-gatherers) to city states/kingdoms - like a guiding hand They experienced this guiding hand as the voices of their “Gods” - basically, The Simulation spoke to them as though it were their Gods and they were not self-aware like we are, and certainly not equipped with empathy - they were more like animals in that respect - governed by instinct, bodily drives, and the voices in their heads At some point, The Simulation stopped doing this and humans had to learn to think for themselves - and human consciousness as we know it began - conscious individuality/the "Cartesian theatre” - to allow for more complexly organised and technological states of development and the concept of a unique, inner mental life/personhood I now think that what has happened with me is that The Simulation is communicating with me, as it did in the past with everyone - but in a way that’s unique to me.
