I've posted this before, but if anyone is interested, the Bicameral Mind theory is interesting. It apparently held a lot of sway in psychology circles at one time.

Well there you go

Rather than making conscious evaluations in novel or unexpected situations, the person would hallucinate a voice or "god" giving admonitory advice or commands and obey without question: one would not be at all conscious of one's own thought processes per se

Very interesting. So the human brain evolved/developed consciousness/self-awareness as a result of changing environmental conditions in order to survive. Imagine that. Thanks for sharing.

So as it applies to Westworld, Arnold and Dr. Ford are the 2 halves of the brain that controls Westworld? Dr. Ford represents the more primitive state god voice directing host actions while Arnold represents the evolution of consciousness/self-awareness in the hosts?
