Abstract
One cannot understand the extreme schizophrenia and sadomasochistic psychopathy of mankind--and hence the appeal that etatism holds for many--without incorporating the crucial insight provided by psychologist Julian Jaynes in his 1976 monograph The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. And here I'm not speaking of so-called "aberrant" human psychology, but rather simply standard human psychology that all humans are born with due to natural evolution.
Keywords: evolutionary psychology, Julian Jaynes, Lloyd deMause, Marvin Minsky, Sadism, Masochism, sadomasochism, schizophrenia, psychopathy, sociopathy, society, politics
