| A lot of techno-utopian idealism and speculation, with very little attention to potential downsides. Overall not nearly as interesting as I had hoped, and much of it was information people will already be acquainted with if they've been following rec ...more | |

Thanks for the friend request Marcel. Your interests are quite similar to mine. I would welcome your review/comments on my new book Getting Smarter - It's Not What You Think. Let me know if you are interested and I will send you a pdf version of it. At 150 pages it is a fast read and then a lifelong practice.

Thanks for the friend request, you have an intriguing list of books which makes it clear that you have a beautiful mind...
At some point I mean to write a little review of The Origin of Consciousness..., which I read so long ago. I also have Incognito, which another friend mentioned earlier, but haven't read it.
Hey M.~ Thanks for adding me to your astounding list. Looks like I have some new things to look up... :) D.
Thanks for adding me as a friend. I'm currently reading "The Origin of Consciousness...", which I see you're an expert on, and I'm quite fascinated.

Thanks for adding me as a friend. I think I've finally discovered the little corner of goodreads I had always hoped existed.
Hey, there! Thanks for addng me as a friend! Your shelves are full of highly interesting books!! And you're the editor of a second book on the bicameral mind! Fascinating! (As Mr. Spock would say. Lol.) : )
I see you have a number of books regarding the subject of "consciousness". I would be interested in reading something about this subject from a more philosophical and/or scientific view. I noticed your rating for both the user illusion and the breakdown of the bicameral mind. Which of these two or is there another you would suggest on this topic for someone just getting into this subject? And yes I did see that you are the editor of one of these but I would still like to know if that is a good place to start, or if another book would be a better background to begin with.
Just wanted to stop in and wish you the best of the holiday season! Merry Christmas!-NoranHammond,IN :)
Hello Marcel,Thank you for joining the Happy & Brainy Group. I included "Reflections on the Dawn of Consciousness: Julian Jaynes's Bicameral Mind Theory Revisited" in the group's bookshelves. I wish you good fortune on your endeavors, especially this book.
When you have the time, please check out the author giveaways (Reason Reigns is listed).
Warmest regards,
