Anyone want to read and discuss "The Origin of Consc in the Breakdown of the B Mind ?

[Gemini]

I've never read it before but I've heard of Jayne's theory. I would say it's plausible-to-certain that some significant psychological evolution (apart from genetic changes) has taken place over the course of human history. IQs have been rising dramatically recently, not due to better nutrition (and certainly not genetic changes) but due to the acquisition of conceptual tools like hypothetical thinking. And I think he's definitely right about the non-unitary view of self.

This sounds interesting. I'll try to get hold of a copy.
