The Need to Acknowledge Bicameral Vestiges: Modern Support for Julian Jaynes's Theory
The Need to Acknowledge Bicameral Vestiges: Jaynesian Psychology Finds Support not just from the Ancient World
By Brian J. McVeigh
Read by Michael R. Jacobs (https://www.theungoogleable.com, https://www.youtube.com/@VoidDenizen).
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. It is worth responding to this line of critique because it is not an uncommon reaction from those who find fault with Jaynes (and for what it’s worth, Jaynes did not set out to explain the origins of religion; his research was on the origin of consciousness).
