That’s a very broad and sweeping claim. Do you have any evidence to back that up? Are you making that claim for all cultures?

We laugh, but the concept of independent thought is a relatively new one in human history. Until just a few hundred years ago, humans generally attributed the thoughts in their own heads to the Gods. If you had a problem, and conceived a solution, God provides that solution, you didn’t think of it yourself.

I mean, how is that fundamentally different from a deterministic universe?

Honestly, a giant Rube Goldberg machine is a way better explanation for our thoughts than Gods

I saw the same video, and used the premise recently as an ice breaker, but it’s still very much a theory here as others are saying.
It’s worth exploring I suppose, but it seems unlikely.
It’s just an interesting and provocative thought.

There’s bi-cameral mind theory, but it’s all very much speculative. I saw a well amde video on that topic, but it’s very hard to believe it to be true!

Is it alright for this video to be shared??
ijustliketrains@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
This is the one I saw on it. Definitely an interesting thought.

I’ll see if I can find it again, it was a person rambling about gods and internal voices.

It’s not. You can read the things philosophers wrote down thousands of years ago and people didn’t think that way.
Probably just some atheist dogma.

Just because a few enlightened philosophers understood human thought, doesn’t mean the ignorant masses, whose entire “education” is what the clergy tells them, didn’t believe something totally different.

^^^ more atheist dogma.

well, i read something similar a while ago. basically, medieval monks used to not sign anything they made, because they believed that they themselves had a small part to play in it (basically the executive arm) while some other mysterious force moved them (through their body) to do the piece of art.
