#2Common human behavior is a lot more schizophrenic than any of us are comfortable with understanding. I recommend the book "Hare Brain Tortoise Mind" to everyone who will listen. It explains one form of multi-mindedness that leads to you getting your best insights while in the shower --what it's good at and what it's not.
"The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat" is another classic.

Seems overly simplistic to me, I mean, one of us.

Another interesting read is “The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind” by Julian Jaynes, which outlines hypothesis of bicameralism [1].

The hypothesis of bicameralism is mostly debunked, though.

I think that Wikipedia article is about a different idea than the parent video.
The parent video is about the idea that an "individual" human mind can be described as being composed of subordinate minds. In this case, left-side vs. right-side.
The Wikipedia article is about the idea that there's no single metric by which we can judge human intelligence. This is, it's theoretically impossible to have any score, like IQ, that cleanly qualifies how smart people are relative to one another.

I'll check out those titles, but put simply, are you referring to how I talk to myself in many voices in the shower, having a narrative about a problem I'm picking away at?

Hare vs tortoise thinking is basically why I built Pony [0] an email service that sends and receives once a day. I find that time is critical for cognition, processing, basic reflection. Without the passing of time for me it’s really difficult to communicate at anything but the most basic level. Pony has let me tap into my tortoise brain for corresponding with people.

schizophrenia in japan is called integration disorder. meaning the many different parts of the mind, or many minds, are not integrating into a single mind.
