The Causes of Consciousness, per Jaynes in OCBBM
Post Body

.....that is, the moment and act of rejecting the bicamerally delivered command causes the condition of true "I" (as compared to the "i" of her narrative loops)

(best candidate after bottom of the 8th = Maeve with her spoil)

“The Causes of Consciousness”

“An old Sumerian proverb has been translated as ‘act promptly, make your god happy’.”

“... And between the act and its divine source came the shadow, the pause that profaned, the dreadful loosening that made the gods unhappy, recriminatory, jealous. Until, finally, the screening off of their tyranny was effected by the invention on the basis of language of an analog space with an analog ‘I’. The careful elaborate structures of the bicameral mind had been shaken into consciousness” pg 204 OCBBM J Jaynes 1976
