Bi-cameral brains and Heidegger

[Mark Kohut]

I wrote a longer piece based on stuff said so far re The Master and His
Emissary but the short version is: I am resistant
IF it will be used in arguing something substantive about writers of
genius. I'll make my cases then if necessary.
The author's explanatory connections between
the bi-cameral mind and culture and history is one thing.........gonna be
interesting to read.

But as we all know aggregate truths do not easily apply to individual human
cases in meaningful ways.
This is simply akin to all the combinatory statistical truths we know yet
all that giving us almost no predictive insight into
any singular example.
