Consciousness and the Bicameral Mind - The Julian Jaynes Society Podcast25. Consciousness and DreamsConsciousness and Dreams By Marcel Kuijsten“In The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, Julian Jaynes discusses a variety of forms of evidence for the transition from a bicameral mentality to consciousness. The study of dreams provides another window through which to examine this transition. By extension, historical changes in the nature of dreams support the idea that consciousness is in a learned process based on language and not biologically innate. There is a common assumption that the nature of dreams has been consistent throughout recorded history, yet this is not the case.

Academics make progress when they are inspired by the cross-pollination of ideas, and most researchers, arguably, utilize a multi-disciplinary approach to some degree, i.e., no piece of research fits perfectly into one scholarly field. Much of the academic landscape can be described as combinatory endeavors — social psychology, psychological anthropology, psychology of religion, neuropsychology, neurotheology, etc., to name just a few. Cross-fertilization is a wonderful and much-needed antidote to specialization, sub...2025-01-1411 min
A Fresh Face in Hell with Jonathan EvisonBrian McVeigh - The Origins of ConsciousnessThis week, I talk to writer and anthropologist, Brian McVeigh, about Julian Jaynes's theory of the bi-cameral mind, as detailed in his seminal work, The Origins of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. It’s a theory that forces us to question the evolution of consciousness as we know it. We explore the theory and its relevance to world history, mental health, religion and politics.https://www.amazon.com/Other-Psychology-Julian-Jaynes-Mentalities-ebook/dp/B07BFDFBFV?ref_=ast_author_dp_rw&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.H6mSXJsLlQoOAokzK0n0j-oA3U3-uXkBwmSQ3VP-2_TGgZ2IgOjKMTsLia8X4KEy-C1y7A06DcidH4AY...2025-01-0854 minConsciousness and the Bicameral Mind - The Julian Jaynes Society Podcast22.

Headless Deep Dive PodcastJulian Jaynes - Consciousness and the Voices of the MindPrinceton psychologist Julian Jaynes outlines his fascinating theory of the bicameral mind in this essay entitled Consciousness and the Voices of the Mind. Jaynes’ theory is that humans were not always conscious in the way we think of being conscious. Jaynes defines consciousness as the “mind space” we use as an analog of the real world and says we use metaphors to describe our introspection of what this inner model of the world is like. But Jaynes also says this has not always been the case. He cites early written works and cultural artifacts that indicate that as recently as 300...2024-11-3017 minConsciousness and the Bicameral Mind - The Julian Jaynes Society Podcast21.

This post is inspired by a recent exchange I had with a commentator who saw little value in relying on biblical accounts as evidence to support Jaynes’s theories because they were “fairytales.” Presumably such a criticism could be extended to other writings that constitute humanity’s extensive religious tradition.

By Brian J. McVeigh
Read by Michael R. Jacobs (www.theungoogleable.com, www.youtube.com/@VoidDenizen).
The human mind is always adjusting, accommodating, and adopting resources from outside itself to expand and improve its capabilities. Such adaptation, if broadly understood, unfolds across different temporal spans. But a glaring weakness of mainstream research psychology is its almost complete neglect of a time-scale that would illuminate how the human mind changes over a few generations or several centuries.

The word “consciousness” usually evokes something neuroanatomical, intimately bound up with perceptual experiences, an evolutionary psychological feature from our very distant past that is inherent to the brain itself.

Jaynesian psychology can be distilled down to two major claims. First, until about three millennia ago individual behavior was governed by a different neurocultural arrangement called bicameral mentality: the right hemisphere generated audiovisual hallucinations interpreted as supernatural visitations (ancestors, chiefs, gods) that governed the left hemisphere (the “mortal” side). But bicameral mentality was no match for social transformations — expanding demographics, more complex political economic systems, mass migration, and technological innovations such as writing and bronze and ironworking. This brings us to Jaynes’s second claim. Wh...2024-03-2006 min

Why We Do What We DoAncestral Hallucinations: The Bicameral MindA highly controversial speculative hypothesis. Julian Jaynes read ancient texts and arrived at a unique and wholly original hypothesis: Our ancestors did not have consciousness. He reasoned that their brains did not work in concert as ours do today and instead they "hear" the messages from one hemisphere as the ethereal voice of gods. Is there evidence for this? Have we learned something knew about human psychology? We weigh in on the relatively utility of Jaynes' bicameral mind, for what it's worth.RecommendationsAbraham: Track your miles per gallonShane: Gift cardsLinks: 2023-03-0857 min

He hosts his own show, the Book Society podcast, featuring weekly conversations with fascinating guests from diverse backgrounds.Lucas and I are both hooked on great storytelling and popular history, and today’s conversation is a great example of how re-reading a book that we love draws us down a winding path of intrigue and ideas.

There Will Be BooksEpisode 85 "TBR Show & Tell"Grab your pen and paper because we're adding a bunch of books to our respective TBR's. Much like adding movies to your Netflix queue, sometimes nothing feels better than talking about books you wanna read but may not have time to get to. Each of us has 5 books and there are some really interesting titles, hopefully something for everybody. But first, we start with talking about books we read or listened to outside of the podcast realm, and recommend some titles. Really fun episode, hope you enjoy!

The DemystifySci PodcastThe Voices in Your Head: How God Becomes “I” - Dr. Brian McVeighMicky & Quinn meet up with Dr. Brian McVeigh, an anthropologist and mental health counselor, who was once a student of Dr. Julian Jaynes. Jaynes developed the Theory of the Bicameral mind, which seeks to explain the evolution of conscious introspection in humanity. In other words, how did humans come to have a perception of themselves that could be abstracted - the I of the present, and the “me” of future action, cognition, and planning?
Jaynes’ proposed that this shift happened as a result of the bronze age collapse of around 1200 BCE. Prior to this event, he suggests that h...2020-12-271h 08
The DemystifySci PodcastEvolution of Auditory Hallucinations - Daniel SmithHallucinations as an automatic signifier of mental illness is a surprisingly recent paradigm. Traditionally, hearing non-corporeal voices was viewed as a supernatural event, the realm of religious prophets, ecstatic poets, and inspired painters. In those circumstances, hearing voices was viewed through the lens of divine inspiration, indicative of an active relationship with the metaphysical. Today, auditory hallucinations are often sensationalized into a non-normative pathology, a situation where the response to even a mildest case is often tinged with fear - of violence, of contagion, of impurity. In these conditions, the deep, spiritual significance of the event is devalued, the meani...2020-11-301h 22

אסור להשוותפרק 22: לקרוא ספרים זה כמו פשיטה ויקינגיתחגי ואורן קוראים הרבה ספרים. אבל לא כל ספר מצדיק קריאה מכריכה לכריכה. המאזין אביעד שאל אותנו את השאלה שאנחנו מרבים לשאול את עצמנו: איך יודעים מתי מיצינו ספר, והגיע הזמן להמשיך הלאה?
אורן חושב שצריך לקרוא ספר כמו ויקינג שבוזז מנזר: לקחת את הזהב, להתעלם מהשאר, ולחזור הביתה. הוא מציע לאביעד להחליט מראש מה הוא רוצה להפיק מכל ספר, ולתכנן את הקריאה כדי להפיק את המירב תוך השקעה מזערית.
בשביל חגי, ספר הוא כמו עוגת שוקולד: השלם שונה מהותית מסכום חלקיו, והוא מתגלה רק כעבור זמן ו-״אפייה״. חגי חושב שאביעד צריך לקרוא רק את אותם ספרים שמצדיקים קריאה מלאה והתעמקות.

Julian Jaynes’ The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown Of The Bicameral Mind is a brilliant book, with only two minor flaws. First, that it purports to explains the origin of consciousness. And second, that it posits a breakdown of the bicameral mind. I think it’s possible to route around these flaws while keeping the thesis otherwise intact. So I’m going to start by reviewing a slightly different book, the one Jaynes should have written. Then I’ll talk about the more dubious one he actually wrote. My hypot...2020-06-0346 min

Julian Jaynes's bicameral mind, Rupert Sheldrake's morphic field hypothesis, Rene Girard's mimetic theory, and Weiping Yu's dipolar particle theory are all explored with the premise of McGilchrist's "The Master and His Emissary" thesis in mind.

Drunken Philosophy#186 - BicameralismWhat was it like to be a human being before we attained real consciousness?
