He had me until the part about the humans getting psychic abilities as a result. I couldn’t take the rest of it seriously after that.

One of his recent books was about parapsychology. My wild guess is, his former associate was the primary influence on him in that regard.

So, you don't believe it's possible? Or, maybe you don't want it to be possible? Or, am I to gather you have studied extensively in this field and found the premise to be beyond the pale? JMHO, but I doubt you have a serious clue about the capabilities of the human mind; past or present.

May I suggest reading Julian Jaynes The origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind.
