Maybe Theo Von wasn't wrong when he asked if the wind is trying to tell us something but we forgot how to hear it.

They probably just didn’t write about the dreams where a horse is their mom

this is completely just hypothetical btw, most experts in anthropology field do NOT subscribe to this idea

I had this thought when reading Socrates. the way he described a voice that wouldn't stop asking questions. part of his sentence was due to people thinking he was looney

What irritates me about this interview is how it only focuses on the eruo centric and western idea of things. Like when Michael said “the Bible is the story of people becoming conscious” when the Egyptians existed long before the Bible and anything that supposedly happened in it, as well as China and other eastern worlds that were around thousands of years before any of these things were written. I understand Michael using his world view and experience to make a point, but as an educator and especially a science educator it’s odd to not even bring up anything other than that. I also understand that given the context of the conversation, Michael may not have thought it an important point and that’s fine, it’s just something that always irritates me personally.

This is called the bicameral mind theory and the guy who came up with it brought up a ton of incredibly intelligent and well thought out points and then went off the walls insane and said that ancient civilizations were not conscious.

The Bible was most definitely not the BEGINNING of consciousness . For several thousand years prior there were religions that could be explained as humanity grasping at their consciousness.

I've wondered for a very long time if a lot of those old timey folks having visions of angels or hearing the voice of god telling them to do something weren't just Having Thoughts

The people in comments who think we already know everything about the human brain and consciousness is hilarious.

We hear voices because we created a language.

this sounds like some modern revisionist bs that always makes "ancient" humans seem strange and otherworldly

I wonder if dreams have evolved with how easily accessible information is. The more we know about the world and the more locations we see in books, TV, internet, etc makes dreams more complex
