Julian Jaynes foi um psicólogo, filósofo e escritor estaduniense. Em 1976, publicou o livro The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind onde apresentou a teoria da mente bicameral, pela qual, a mente dos homens primitivos apresentava respostas automáticas não conscientes. Incapazes de realizar a metaconsciência, esses homens antigos tinham seu comportamento guiado por volições ou comandos neurológicos não conscientes, apresentados como vozes ou alucinações auditivas.

O conceito da mente bicameral de Julian Jaynes foi explorado na série de televisão americana Westworld, desenvolvida por Jonathan Nolan e Lisa Joy e transmitida pela emissora HBO. Wikipedia

“I therefore believe that these and many other movements of our time are in the great long picture of our civilizations related to the loss of an earlier organization of human natures. They are attempts to return to what is no longer there, like poets to their inexistent Muses, and as such they are characteristic of these transitional millennia in which we are imbedded.”

“"What is the meaning of life?" This question has no answer except in the history of how it came to be asked. There is no answer because words have meaning, not life or persons or the universe itself. Our search for certainty rests in our attempts at understanding the history of all individual selves and all civilizations. Beyond that, there is only awe.”

As quoted in LIFE magazine (December 1988) http://www.humancondition.info/Beyond/ScienceReligion.html

“We have said that consciousness is an operation rather than a thing, a repository, or a function. It operates by way of analogy, by way of constructing an analog space with an analog ‘I’ that can observe that space, and move metaphorically in it. It operates on any reactivity, excerpts relevant aspects, narratizes and conciliates them together in a metaphorical space where such meanings can be manipulated like things in space.”
