Inside you there are 2 wolves

This hypothesis is bullshit. There are far more than just two consciousnesses.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Unrelated but “consciousnesses” sounds kinda funny

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

we should go with "conscii"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Right? And they talk a lot with me. Actually sometimes they wont shut up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, like, what are they trying to say??

That all of the consciousnesses belong to just two entities? That's weird bro, sounds unhealthy, maybe they need help.

The only thing I can think of that this could refer to is split brain patients who have undergone a specific medial procedure once used to treat epilepsy. It's possible, although not well understood, that the two halves of their brain operate sort of independently, and only one has access to speech.

It's a very interesting topic, well worth diving into! But it's also very muddy, there is contrasting evidence for and against the "two mind" theory.

Anyway, I'm fairly certain this "theory" does not apply to healthy brains which have not undergone this procedure.

You mean the wolves?

Dual consciousness is not exactly proven though, so idk what to think. Hope researchers shed more light down the road

Check out- Thinking, Fast and Slow By: Daniel Kahneman

It deals with the concepts of two minds in one. System one and system two

Well can't say they are wrong pretty sure my body is against what I think especially when it comes to health :))

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

OK but what is a "conscience entity"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I think this has been proven, kinda.
