It certainly feels like that at times. The key being the non verbal part, it's the part that feels things i can't explain, like I have to poke and probe some part of my brain by imagining, to try and see how it reacts to certain thoughts and observe the emotions, then try to put it into words to explain it to the conscious part of my mind. Like, the subconscious is not unconscious, it's perfectly conscious just not verbal.

Bicameral Mentality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicameral_mentality

It's a concept that is quite well explored by the first season of Westworld.

Either I was too high watching it or no it fuckin wasn't

I will accept either explanation

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Probably the first haha, it's the name of the finale episode of the first season and it's even mentioned in the Wikipedia article I linked.

Inside you there are 2 wolves

And neither one has access to speech

Mine share the same lonely neuron.

This hypothesis is bullshit. There are far more than just two consciousnesses.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Unrelated but “consciousnesses” sounds kinda funny

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

we should go with "conscii"

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, like, what are they trying to say??

That all of the consciousnesses belong to just two entities? That's weird bro, sounds unhealthy, maybe they need help.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Right? And they talk a lot with me. Actually sometimes they wont shut up.

We are all a little crazy on this blessed day

The only thing I can think of that this could refer to is split brain patients who have undergone a specific medial procedure once used to treat epilepsy. It's possible, although not well understood, that the two halves of their brain operate sort of independently, and only one has access to speech.

It's a very interesting topic, well worth diving into! But it's also very muddy, there is contrasting evidence for and against the "two mind" theory.

Anyway, I'm fairly certain this "theory" does not apply to healthy brains which have not undergone this procedure.

Dual consciousness is not exactly proven though, so idk what to think. Hope researchers shed more light down the road

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

You mean the wolves?

It deals with the concepts of two minds in one. System one and system two
