I wanna branch out from American novelists and read educational topics but when I read this stuff I go through pages without understanding what I’ve just read.
One thing I picked up from reading history is to read from secondary authors rather than primary authors—journalists and professors rather than historians. So I’m trying this with psychology now, every chapter here is an opinion on Jaynes’ thoughts.

“The Aztecs called the place Teotihuacan, burial place of kings; the ancients said: he who has died became a god.”
The crux of this book so far is that the current state of our brains is not how it has always been; there was a time in which the right and left hemispheres of the brain could not recognize each other and so one’s thoughts were not recognized as coming from within.
