Notes -
No, I'm not familiar with Jaynes or with the Debt book. Intriguing thought though.
There might also be a relation to the broad society swings of culture in terms of art, thinking and literature? From the enlightenment to romanticism, etc. New technologies might promote more analytical or rationalistic thinking (the printing press, the internet). I haven't looked into this at all, it just popped up in my head now.
