Listen "Episode 5: “When the Unconscious Wakes: Dreams, Language, and the Human Voice”"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we begin with a haunting reverie, an octopus entering a human skull, a symbol that opens into a deeper inquiry into consciousness, embodiment, and the architecture of mind. Through Jungian analysis and neuroscientific insight, we trace the boundary between the unconscious and the rational self, before turning to the written word itself: the distinction between human and machine language. Stylometric patterns, prosody, and lexical entropy become instruments of philosophical exploration, culminating in a reading of “Lost London.” What emerges is a question both poetic and technical: can artifice ever incarnate soul, or can miracles indeed be engineered?
