The bicameral mind / "voice of the gods" is a primary key to Westworld

Just last episode:
- when Teddy is reciting his new narrative back to Ford, he says Wyatt's "strange ideas" are that he believes he can hear the voice of the gods
- during the conversation between Ford and Bernard in Ford's office, Ford lays out the basic tenets of the bicameral mind and that it was considered to be a way to "bootstrap consciousness"
- and then when Dolores is about to be raped and finds the gun in the hay, there is a random man's voice that says "shoot him" right before she does.
Together, episode 3 strongly seems to point towards the theory that Ford is intentionally manipulating the hosts to achieve sentience -- that he's putting into action the theory that "Arnold" allegedly pursued prior to his "accidental death."

alternative interpretations: wyatt is arnold, arnold is ed harris.
Ford’s talks with Teddy and Bernard included a lot of exposition, but while one focused on a new fictional narrative and the other detailed the history of the park’s mysterious co-founder the two seem inextricably tied together.
The story line he gives to Teddy casts Wyatt (Sorin Brouwers) as a figure out of a nightmare—something Teddy’s eventual face-off with Wyatt’s followers seems to confirm—who began as a simple man overwhelmed by the world around him. He claimed he could hear “the voice of god” which turned him into a merciless killer. Ford introduces the narrative calling it “a fiction that like all great stories is rooted in truth.”
The truth in question bears similarities to the story he shares with Bernard regarding the long-forgotten co-founder, Arnold. The man’s been “scrubbed” from the park’s official history after apparently losing both his sanity and life inside the park. Arnold was intent on creating consciousness in the hosts before butting up against the theory of the bicameral mind—the hosts went crazy believing their thoughts were actually the voice of god instructing them what to do.
So is Ford simply building his new narrative around what happened with Arnold and making Wyatt a dramatized version of where Arnold went wrong? Ford’s interest in that steeple he found is starting to become clearer and suggests his own curiosity in tying these artificial beings to the beginning of religious beliefs.
The long shot argument here… could Arnold be the Man in Black? Ford says Arnold began wandering the park and speaking only to the hosts, and while he says he died there no details are offered. The age seems right, he seems to know most of the park’s ins and outs, and his comment about being born there fits the idea of someone who found renewed purpose in Westworld.

idk, i don't think it's obviously ed harris - it's possible but hardly seems like that's clearly the case
w/r/t to a fight club scenario: yeah, no way.
