    When I was in high school, I took a calligraphy class and ended up having many interesting conversations with my teacher after class was over. At one point, I decided to ask him for some advice on living the rest of my life. He said, "Seek to become a Renaissance man" and went on to define that as developing *both* sides of my brain as much as possible. I am now 53 years old and I feel like Dr. McGilchrist is validating that journey. I think everyone should become a Renaissance "man" (person).

    Some favorite Iain McGilchrist quotes from this presentation:
    "I'm not suggesting there is one single easy reality. I'm not suggesting there is one ever knowable truth. I'm suggesting we mustn't ever give up on the idea that it is worthwhile for a human life-in fact, it is imperative for a human life-to be searching for such a reality and such a truth. Otherwise, we are frankly deluded, and I believe that much of the world I now live in is suicidally deluded."
    "What scientists don't see anymore is there is no such thing as just 'looking' because the way you attend, the preconceptions in which you attend, alters what you find."
    "We don't want *either* either/or *or* both/and; we need *both* either/or *and* both/and. The unity of difference and unity."

      Sometimes the reality hits you 😅
      Maybe the truth you're out searching to find already exists within you and you're searching for it out there, getting lost and all when it's always been with you 😊

      It's because it's really hard to do anything when you see it as a continuum. To do much of anything you need to pretend everything is reducible to parts. Or at least it was pre modern computing.

    Another gem... I think about the topics on this discussion daily and i see this all around me after reading your work. Maybe because this is how i am attending to the world these days, but i think not. This feeling was there long before i read your work Iain and as many have said you have merely put words to it. But what to do. I see many just watching this as you describe with some kind of optimism but these days there are many times when i feel like i'm living in a mad house. I often think about leaving the bureaucracy of the west for a 'simpler' life somewhere else where i don't have to try to undo the constant gaslighting of the modern world.

    It seems there is a balancing act that has evolved in the nervous system of life. All sides are presented, and all possibilities within the probability of opposites, binaries, and webs of perceived information. Awareness, the more I study it, seems to become more and more important than all other thoughts or processes. It's at the base of the experience of life. You can not know without awareness. You can not make any discernment without awareness. I have a feeling that a true "theory of everything" lies in the understanding of awareness itself.

    The "identity of identity and non-identity" as my philosophy professor used to put it. All this stuff is very Hegelian and complex enough to do justice to the way we acquire knowledge. It's taken me a while to free myself from the logicists; knowledge is an emergent property. Good stuff Dr McGilchrist.

    • @marcodallolio9746

      Science as an institution selects for left-brain dominant naive realists, and enforces its materialistic ideology pretty effectively. That unification could come only after a pretty radical and complete revolution of the institution, a revolution so fundamental it seems rather impossible. This civilization will collapse long before that can happen

The more views you can hold of a particular element the closer you are to understanding that elements' complete truth. The mountain example was epic. A mountain is much more than just a mountain. :-) Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this. ENCORE! ENCORE!!

    Prince Wen Hu's cook
    Was cutting of an ox.
    Out went a hand,
    Down went a shoulder,
    He planted a foot,
    He pressed a knee,
    The ox fell apart
    With a whisper,
    The bright cleaver
    murmured
    Like a gentle wind.
    Rythem! Timing!
    Like a sacred dance,
    Like "The Mulberry Grove,"
    Like ancient harmonies!
    "Good work!" the Prince
    exclaimed,
    "Your method is faultless!"
    "Method?" said the cook
    Laying aside his cleaver,
    "What I follow is Tao
    Beyond all methods!
    "When I first began
    To cut up oxen
    I would see before me
    The whole ox
    All in one mass.
    After three years
    I no longer saw this
    mass,
    I saw the distinctions.
    "But now I see nothing
    With the eye. My whole
    being
    Apprendends.
    My senses are idle. The
    spirit
    Free to work without
    plan
    Follows its own instinct
    Guided my natural line,
    By the secret opening,
    the hidden place,
    My cleaver finds its own
    way.
    I cut through no joint,
    chop no bone.
    "There are species in the
    joints;
    The blade is thin and
    keen:
    When this thinness
    Finds that space
    There is all the room
    you need!
    It goes like a breeze!
    Hence I have this
    cleaver nineteen
    years
    As if it newly
    sharpened!
    "True, there are
    sometimes
    Tough joints. I feel
    them coming,
    I slow down, I watch
    closely,
    Hold back, barely
    move the blade,
    And whump! the
    part falls away
    Landing on the clod
    of the earth.
    "Then I withdrew the
    blade,
    I stand still
    And let the joy of the
    work
    Sink in.
    I clean the blade
    And put it away."
    Prince Wen Hui said,
    "This is it! My cook
    has shown me
    How I ought to live
    My own life!"

    "you cant step into the same puddle twice" means "everything changes"

    The left and the right halves of the brain are asymmetrical. I learned that from you. In mind matters, I'm just starting the section called "Hemispheric Differences in Pathologies of Judgment" p. 207. I have a left tbi and have noticed that you haven't said much about left side injuries and how they affect personality. I wonder if what you explain that is missing when the right half is injured may be strengthened in me? You just talked about anger and how much we are using our left sides today and the consequences. But I am very, very optimistic, I'm always smiling and try to bring out the best in everyone, barely any anger at all, only when I jump to conclusions when people are talking to me about specifics and I am very ridged. So I wonder, is it my right side taking over and have I lost much of my anger? It seem pretty impossible for me to sum things up, tidy my thoughts or start from scratch, but give me a day, week, month or year, and I can figure things out. Is it the gathering of information that is easy for me and the conclusions take longer due to lack of the left side? Am I making any sense to you? LOL, remember, I have a brain injury!

    Wow thank you ❤ human understanding humanity 🎉 it was believed to be impossible to understand the “self “ in concert term. But in flow and respectfully being mindful , it’s possible to embrace the nature of humanity by crossing the CC bridge the sacred.
    Misunderstood and underestimated Right Hemisphere cultures might suffer in finding value in modern interpretations of good and bad.
    Thank you for articulating what I observed and know from experience.

    I like "Everything Flows" 41:40 and how you explain the difference between change and flow. You can have form changes in experience but still be in the same experience. It makes it very difficult to get out of denial cause it is hard to recognize you haven't really learned from your experience because you think you have moved into something new, when in truth you are still reliving your past experience, just in a different form. There is more to this, but it gets convoluted a bit. But hopefully it makes since.

    Are you looking for the true nature of reality in the right place? Science only has the mind to work with through intellect. But intellect alone will not reveal reality because that is arising only from the conditioned mind. The true nature of reality can only be realised through wisdom which transcends the conditioned mind and becomes the witness to it.

    The right hemisphere of the brain represents personal identity and the left hemisphere of the brain represents consciousness type one of the first type (what generates both personal identity and consciousness type one is the self-concept). Personal identity is a kind of simulation of the self-concept generated by the concept of the self itself. But what happens in both hemispheres of the brain is a process and not absolute. all that was written many years ago in details, they have stolen and polluted human thoughts badly and worked on erasing human traces too.

It would border on patents and position the historical context on the basis of geography. Guests would walk away contemplating use cases, top down and bottom up control mechanisms. Also the underwhelming reasons why a certain invention emerged at a particular time. Resource availability and next best achievement under current constraints

    The vortex or whirlpool has a more mystical meaning in the ancient theology of Hermes, Orpheus & Pythagoras: it has the same meaning as the CLOUD or divine Glory of christianity: it is through sacred whorls or whirlpools that all things including the corporeal world - come into being. Great points.

    Brilliant. So true, should be required viewing in all centers of higher education. I would add that human intelligence and evolution owes its place to the Precession of the Equinoxes. The downward arc to a Dark Age and the upward arc to a Golden Age which repeats at progressively higher levels until all substance (consciousness) is redeemed and brought to self-knowing. Fortunately, in spite of how bad things appear, we are at the beginning of the upward arc, the Dark Age is in the past. Christianity was born in the Pisces/Virgo era, Christianity symbolized by the Fish and the Virgin. The next age which Christ mentioned when he said to look for a man with a pitcher is Aquarius/Leo; the Water bearer and the Lion which lies ahead, a millennia or so away.

    The difference between the perspectives of the left and right brain were described in the TV show Seinfeld. When Jerry was dating a woman and when he seen her again he wasn't attracted to her. He blamed it on the lighting. His perspective changed because he viewed her with one side of the brain on separate occasions. She was logically attractive, then she was reasonably attractive or vice versa.

    I suppose one interesting question is which half is in charge of the other half, since they are so different, it's likely one has the upper hand in the 'self'. From what he says with localization of anger, control, maybe even optimism but that's a strange one, being localized left, it seems the left dominating the right would be narcissism? You could even speculate that anger draws the self into the left hemisphere. Other than that I can speculate as to the type of gear on each side

      I would suggest that in order to make use of A.I. we must presume its competence, or give it some sort of academic or other competence, thus making of it, especially given the length of its sources which precludes frequent criticism of its methods, an oracle. Having done this we might find ourselves undertaking, at its behest, some nihillistic social reordering simlilar but more seemngly rational than the assault we currently defend against. We would thus allow, even more than we currently do, the disuetude of our own cognitive functions, with predictable consequences.
