    Dakryn's Batshit Theory of the Week

    Yes. I understand this. Reminds me of how Obama joked about how big the government was in a speech and everybody laughed. Preening, weening, and demeaning; with a nice slice of apple pie.

    I think this overestimates the literacy of the Middle East just a little bit much.

    So NSA's Prism Project is going to turn all of our "private" conversations over to law enforcement and turn our webcams into nanny-cams. Dianne Feinstein just wants to protect us all. How precious and marvelous.

    I also had to laugh when I saw Romeo strumming the opening chords and then I thought about my signature on here when I saw the cigarette smoke billowing around him. How fitting.

    They could have made many more mistakes; and it's still better than putting two songs that would equate to the same length from IC or PL in the setlist. I thought LePond's bass work was actually pretty good. Rullo too was quite solid. That keyboard intro almost brought a tear to my eye...

    Serpent's Kiss was the kiss of death. And they are still playing it. I won't be seeing them anytime soon.

    Michael Romeo's best solo isn't even a Symphony X one.

    Well I would have to read up on Dennett, of course. But many have taken Jaynes' work to even more ridiculous areas, like Terrance McKenna. Talk about a guy who is out there, he uses psychedelics to talk to aliens. But this Dennett sounds a lot more grounded.

    Well, since I have read the entire Jaynes book, I think you find it to be even more explanatory when taken as a whole, particularly when you get to the latter chapters on hypnosis and schizophrenia. Jayne's theory is the only thing I have ever read with a viable explanation as to what these two...

    Has anybody here read The Origin Of Consciousness In the Breakdown Of The Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes? The best and most explanatory work IMO.
