The Bicameral Mind – Brokebot Mountain – 10
The Bicameral Mind
In HBO’s Westworld season finale, ‘The Bicameral Mind‘ Ford unveils his bold new narrative; Dolores embraces her identity; Maeve sets her plan in motion.
Bicameralism (the philosophy of “two-chamberedness”)
is a hypothesis in psychology that argues that the human mind once assumed a state in which cognitive functions were divided between one part of the brain which appears to be “speaking”, and a second part which listens and obeys—a bicameral mind. The term was coined by Julian Jaynes, who presented the idea in his 1976 book “The Origin of Consciousness” in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, wherein he made the case that a bicameral mentality was the normal and ubiquitous state of the human mind as recently as 3000 years ago.

Kathryn (Katie) Talmo Asks:
“Would you like to see them bring in a Yule Brenner bot to the show? Which actor would you think would be a good addition to the show? Will Teddy show up in Samurai world next? What if it all turns out to be a video game?”
– Samurai World is not the focus as much of the fact that Westworld is. The idea is more that this “world” is much bigger than anyone had ever anticipated, and that the characters we know are a bit part in the schematic
