Does he say that humans achieved consciousness too soon and we couldn’t handle it as a result?
ChatGPT
Yes, Jeremy Griffith proposes a theory regarding the emergence of consciousness in humans. According to Griffith’s theory, humans developed consciousness relatively quickly in evolutionary terms, which he suggests led to a profound psychological conflict within individuals. This conflict arises from humans’ growing self-awareness and the awareness of the imperfections and contradictions within themselves and the world around them.
