    Here is a quote on the internet from the author - looks an interesting book

    Fortunately, our minds have now evolved the capability to fully enter freedom and to become fully human. Zurcher notes that the evolution of the cerebral cortex has led to the ability to "formulate abstractions" (34). We can now reflect on ourselves and our situations. We can separate ourselves from and hold structures at a distance.

    This ability to separate ourselves from controlling structures is similar to the type of space Jaynes referred to which developed in bicameral humans and which allowed those early humans to step back from controlling hierarchies and provided room for the development of early consciousness (35). That space enabled early humans to reflect upon and to question the old dominating authorities.
