  • Oh! Now I get it...

  • I go to USF in Tampa and I don't really know how I came across this but I am so intrigued I am going to learn more, these ideas and thoughts make me want to switch majors.

  • Well done. The common lack of amazement at conscious interiority seems almost criminally negligent to me. How, indeed, do these mindless atoms of ours *know* that they're alive?

    Before reading Jaynes, I used the term consciousness most often as this unexplained phenomenon of awareness or sentience, but not necessarily as interiority and identity. Once I got past that, I began to be amazed at Jaynes' ideas. It's the most thought-provoking and brilliant book I've ever read.
