Ouch! Well, you'll get your wish...next year though, and the year after. tOSU is playing USC the next 2 years, like we played Texas last year and the year before. (and would have won them both had Vince Young not gone all Vince Young on us on the fourth quarter.) Washington was scheduled...

Not exactly the way I envisioned it happening, but I have seen almost every game and the Sooners are the real deal. Despite their 2 losses. With this crazy season it just might happen. Buckeyes are in, let the other guys fight it out. Whoever it is we play, you know tOSU will be bashed for...

Will the real #1 please stand up? I was envisioning a repeat of the LSU-Florida game when LSU got the ball back with around 1:30 left in the 4th quarter. Great game. Thank you Kentucky! The Cal game wasn't televised so I was watching the scores scroll by, it was fourth and 17 on the cal...

Geez, no posts in a month?? Anyway, just to give it a little bump... On a Buckeye note, I'm pretty darn happy after the happenings last week that we've moved up to number four in the polls. Hopefully, with Florida beating LSU today and Cal-v-USC later this season, our beloved Buckeyes might...

Hello DD, Actually, I have been following this thread since the beginning and have read most of your posts on this forum. I've hesitated to comment to this because, well, you were a little mean to people in the beginning (and used waaay too many emoticons:smile: ) Anyway, I'm here just trying...

hello Order and Moonbear, I just want to jump in here quickly before I head off to work (sorry I haven't replied earlier) but I'm actually happy to see Moonbear's contributing to this thread. I actually feel partly responsible for taking this thread in the animal consciousness direction, but...

The 2003 fiesta bowl was pretty memorable in it's own right, but I'm a little biased. What about the choke by Minnesota too? Embarrasing! At least no Big 10 team lost to an SEC team. I'll give PSU some credit...they played good defense. I can't believe I fell asleep at the end of the...

Nuklear, The following links are to some research on auditory verbal hallucinations in schitzophrenic subjects that I came across looking into another thread in this forum. What I do know is that our neurons have a base rate of firing and information is coded and transmitted by the rate of...

Well my own thoughts on this are that you can study animal behavior but any attempt to parrellel that to a human is just speculation. Only humans have the ability to report on their conscious experience. There are quite a few people who attemt to make the connection, but that delves into...

Man, there were some good games yesterday. I would have loved to see OSU play USC. Yet, it's for the best though that they lost. They got a taste of what would have happened to them if they played us. We would have at least scored more than 13 points. As for a rematch -v- Mich, I'd...

If it really worries you, go see a doctor. I use to have some weird things like that when I was much younger (kindergardenish) I attributed it to lack of sleep. Do you seem detached like you're watching life as a movie? That'll be $5000.

Well, the example Jaynes used was the work of Karl Marbe, who had his colleages choose which of two objects were heavier by looking at them. They were able to make their decision without any "mental" images at all. (as reported by them). You can try it for yourself and come to your own...

This is what is referred to as "imageless thought" and is the point Jaynes was making that consciousness is not necessary for thinking/reasoning. It's a controversial subject but has lead to advances in areas such as artificial intelligence. If you follow Jaynes rationalle and use his...

Selfadjoint, My confusion about different make-up of modern and bicameral brains was due to the end of page 8 in the lecture I posted. He referenced "it coincides with the astonishing development of the particular areas of the brain involved in language". I see now he was pointing out...

I see what you are saying, and I only asked you because I saw in another thread that you had read the book previously. Perhaps I am inferring that Jaynes believes there evolved a different make-up of the brain. I really don't see how anyone could say that bicameral and modern brains could be...
