Disentangling Inner Speech, Self-dialogue, and Auditory Hallucinations
Disentangling Inner Speech, Self-dialogue, and Auditory Hallucinations: The Mind Is a Machine for Sociopsychological Communication
By Brian J. McVeigh
Read by Michael R. Jacobs (www.theungoogleable.com, www.youtube.com/@VoidDenizen).
How are inner speech, self-dialogue, auditory imagery, and hallucinations related? And what exactly are hallucinations? Some have suggested that hallucinations are caused by a monitoring defect in inner speech (also termed inner voice, silent speech, subvocal speech, covert speech, self talk, internal monologue, verbal thought, etc.) (Fernyhough, The Voices Within, 2016). Such a claim, however, ignores the overwhelming evidence concerning hallucinations before about 1000 BCE. Any theoretical linkage must take into account one crucial datum: hallucinations were central to normal sociopsychological functioning. Hallucinations, which were ubiquitous in the ancient world, were a mechanism for social control (until about the first millennium BCE). The “monitoring defect” hypothesis confuses matters: Rather than hallucinations resulting from a problem with inner speech, inner speech is a type of watered-down hallucination. This is why, arguably, for some an inner voice possesses agent-like properties or is accompanied by a felt presence, suggesting vestigial bicameral mentality.

First to like 🎉.
Thank you!
@JulianJaynesSociety good to hear back from the Society! A question? Have you ever posted a video concerning modern contemporary individuals who apparently do not experience an "inner voice"? Is this a real phenomenon? If so, can Jaynes' model account for this particular divergence in the modern experience of consciousness?
Seems to suggest that God is in our minds and possibly a figment of the human mind. Talking to ourselves and thinking it's God.

Jim Cohn was an old friend of mine from college. He was even then a devoted fan of James Branch Cabell's works, and I'm so glad to see him 'bring it all back home' in this talk.
Yeah it's like me painting something that can be viewed right side up AND upside down 🙂🙃
Hannibal lecter 😂
Tanya, please familiarize yourself with Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman who both realized that the invention of the alphabet (phonetic) coincided at exactly between the Iliad and the Odyssey, and created the 'mind' and the rational, left side dominated brain which Jaynes speaks of.
Absolutely fascinating. I wish this clip went a little longer. Thank you Julian Jaynes Society for keeping Jaynes's theories moving forward.
First 🎉 to up 🗳.
First 👍 👌 🎉😊
The bicameral mind is returning bc as McLuhan said, we are becoming tribal due to electronic technology. We now listen and feel and think as a collective, and over time this will evolve and return us to a bicameral mind.
im convinced truth for bill mahr is a matter of how smugly you can state your prejudices.
Excellent work. I first encountered Brian Mcvay on 52 Living Ideas and he's only ever impressed me with his grasp on Jaynes's hypothesis. I'm very pleased to see all these videos on CZcams. Thank you!
We're glad you enjoy them -- thanks for listening!
The confusion is that Jaynes seems to be using the term 'consciousness' in two ways. He often loosely applies it to a broader awareness of an active self-identity that isn't limited to a specific kind of identity, as separate from basic perceptual awareness and biological reactivity. As such, one is 'unconscious' while driving without thought and without an intentional sense of self-control. But as part of his specific theory, 'consciousness' is often focused on the container metaphor of the egoic self, and this aspect personally interests me the most. In common usage, these two understandings of the same word are typically kept distinct; and so this is where confusion begins. Maybe people feel an intuititive impulse to push back against what could be seen as an unnecessary or unhelpful conflation, whether or not that assessment is accurate and fair. Because they lack the discernment to make a potentially worthy argument for that distinction, they instead dismiss Jaynes' theory whole cloth through misinterpretation and oversimplification. They get to the wrong start with the first step. We need clarification to determine if there is something of value to be unpacked. Bicameral humans still had a sense of self or selves and, as one could argue, might even have had a sense of active self-control. It's just that this self would've been non-egoic in that the self wouldn't have been personally contained but interpersonally shared. What held the self together, instead of the isolated individual body, was the communal space of a walled town or city-state with a shared visual center (temple, pillar, obelisk, etc). The whole communal identity of bundled mind was contained. Jaynes could've been partly incorrect in that the contained self maybe was developing much earlier in the Bronze Age, if the container was much larger and more broadly inclusive. The ego theory of mind hasn't necessarily been the only or first variation of a contained self. It's possible that it could also operate with a bundle theory of mind. As such, bicameral mentality could be taken as a transitional phase of more expansive containment between the amorphous uncontained animistic mind and the narrowly contained egoic mind. That is to say bicameral humans could've driven a wagon with or without awareness, just as modern humans drive cars with or without awareness. It's just that the driver when aware would've experienced the directing thought in the communal world, not in the body (skull, heart, etc). Rather than one possible driver, bicameral humans had access to multiple selves who could motivate and direct action. Each of those selves, though, could have other non-egoic forms of containment (songlines, megaliths, etc). This still fits in with Jaynes' overall theory, albeit modified slightly.

Why are people wooing and cheering after everything said? Is all US TV like this?
It's a comedy show with a live audience.
Back in 1987 after a car accident I was recuperating from surgery in a Denver hospital with nothing to do but watch bad tv and thumb through old National Geographic magazines. One issue had two articles of interest: the cave art of Lascaux, and ancient Greek architecture. I read the latter first, wherein there was a drawing depicting the front of the Parthenon and describing how the ancient Athenians had discovered 'the golden mean' as the most aesthetically pleasing proportionality to the human eye, thus using it nearly anywhere they built anything. It is thus found so in Nature. (See pics showing The Golden Mean as an abstraction then, as employed for the front of the Pathenon). Later that day while delving into the Lascaux article they presented a photo identical to the one of a stag. And there in a corner of the stone wall at Lascaux was what looked like a Golden Rectangle. Within a day (and thanks to a very charming young British nurse) I was able to get a compass and protractor and druggist's ruler and measure both pictures and sure enough! The rectangle on the wall at Lascaux, which predates the Greek discovery by thousands of years, represented an accurate prehistoric depiction of the mathematically precise Golden Mean--and likewise in an 'artistic setting', so to speak.... ...The notion that a geometric object only observable subliminally in nature could find something resembling an epistemological yet unsymbolic basis as an archetype of the collective unconscious, across vast stretches of time and place, and that I would find evidence of it from unrelated articles in the same publication, was a startling experience...
We are all God who divided himself and are further divided between the left and the right. It is through uniting the left and the right and the re uniting of self that we reunite to God.
I read Jaynes in the late 70's. I was an undergraduate with an interest in philosophy and logic. I would invite anyone to re-read his introduction to what consciousness is not -- it still surprises me to this day. The next chapter, on metaphor, is the hardest idea, in my view, to understand. I wrote Jaynes asked more about mind space being the metaphor for real space. He was kind enough to respond to an eager undergraduate, but I have lost his reply! It is a delightful book.
One side of a piece of meat, talking to the other side of the piece of meat… And people don’t believe in miracles?
Wonderful. I was lucky enough to be there during this lecture. The part that still moves me the most is the dying out of the voice of god, the forgetting of the song of adonai without the support of the temple/priest system, etc. I wonder what modern culture "deafens" us to, and what states of consciousness we've simply forgotten altogether
David Duchovny, a fan of the book?! Looking at him in a whole new light there...
I read the book after hearing about it during the late 70's shortly after it was published. It changed the way I think about mankind and our human history. I have re-read it at least three times since and have learned more and more ,,a very important book, Should be required reading for ever High School student,
Thank you Peter, we agree!
It's an interesting theory, but I can't believe it. I don't think it's possible for cities like Sumer or Akkad to have been planned and constructed by people who weren't fully conscious beings.
Thanks for this video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your work.
Thanks for again for fighting this often uphill battle and keeping the work alive and the research current 🙏🏻 and thanks to Hoel for his errors, as they have given a springboard for correction. -michaelangelo
Sometimes I wonder if the people who comment on Jaynes have ever actually read anything he wrote. It certainly doesn't seem that they have. Hoel clearly never bothered to read even the introduction to the origin of consciousness. What was it? Maybe 10 pages...
Often it seems they haven't, and for many it takes more than one reading to fully absorb Jaynes's arguments.
It baffles me how nearly every reference to Jaynes I've run across in various literatures can so badly misinterpret him. If a modern young child can't articulate the difference between a sensation, an intuition, his imaginings, and his propositional beliefs--and needs to be taught the language and use for such concepts--then certainly there was a period in human history before anyone was making such fine distinctions. My personal pet peeve is when Jaynes "seems racist" to people b/c the Spanish so easily defeated the natives. How bizarre that you can make a theory on how consciousness is NON-biological, but instead cultural, and still get accused of racism.
Indeed.
Thoughts on the idea bicameralism is a product of posture (shoulders up and forward/chin up/tailbone up and back; sleeping on chin/ribcage/knees rather than back) and consciousness being a product of calories?
This!
People who think this theory disproves the existence of the spiritual realm/proves materialism are a good example of the Dunning-Kruger effect
Wow He changed a Lot physically from when He was young
Dude looks way better than most.
This guy is so correct and indeed conscious is 100% a constructed phenomena, which permits us to be 'introspective' as Marcel points out - which of course other animals appear not to have. The question I have is that are we now in an electronic environment whereby we are returning to a bicameral mind? I say we are bc of social media and the demise of individualized consciousness.
I listen to a woman scream at her baby of around 11 months every time the partner is away. Police were called on several occasions but they didnt care or assumed what they were doing was normal. Ff to a few days ago child is 4 screams just like the mother except now the mother screams more than the child. I knock the door its open the mother appears and becomes this whimpering concerned woman who fears her daughter has broken her nose. Amidst all of this I ask the child if she had a good day at school she stops crying and a joyful yes and beginning clapping then goes back to crying. I tell the mother to stop whimpering as she is the cause her irrational emotions are making the child react and believe this is normal behaviour. She started shouting at the child and I asked her to stop abusing her. She was horrified being accused of abuse when I said verbal abuse she shut up mouth aghast she looked as though she heard verbal abuse for the first time...she was silent and the child told her to go away. The next neighbour came out to enquire she is a young woman too. Scratch Mark's on her chest. I asked the mother to seek help for her anger issues she closed the door. The other neighour now. I enquired about the scratch scars and she confirmed it was a fight. I'm asking...though consciousness appears to be a small part of it all is that because the power to self control through shock realisation also forces one to be aware of that within and without like a profound connection on the inside but the outside world remains the same?
Thank you for starting this society!
I read this book 10 years ago and in 2023 it is in my bones! Phenomenal piece of work exciting!!!
Dumbest, most disproven theory ever. That’s why no one‘s ever heard of it.
Neuro-linguistic programming seems derived from Jaynes's work.
Jaynes's theory seems to overlap a lot with the theory of neuro-linguistic programming., NLP. Any thoughts?
We had not heard that before, but yes, perhaps there is a connection.
Audio halluncinations seem tied with vivid dreams and even self talk and active imagination. Also consider hearing songs played or repeated audio commercials and how these create inner recordings that are hard to silence.
