I am in love with Iain McGilchrist's mind and humor since the first time, I heard him talking (about 3 months ago). Until today I never heard about John Cleese and now I am his biggest fan. Thank you for this incredible and uplifting episode.
Me too Eni. I found Iain during an interview on the podcast "The Hidden Brain." After finishing "The Master and his Emissary" I felt like I encountered a mind as great as Plato, Descartes or Kant. Gaining knowledge and insight I didn't think possible for a human being.
Anybody else disappointed with Ian’s response to the question about the rigidity of modern psychiatry? Must we always mend two schools of thought or practice even if one or both is an erroneous model and unhelpful? It seems like a contrived usage of his concepts.
Too much left-right hemisphere fundamentalism. The whole idea is worth chritique! It is a way to think you get an explanation! I am a very creative scientist so I do not like these type of explanations! To much simplification! I agreee that to much in science is focussed on communicable proofs but that is not saying that I accept the Left-Right paradigm! I see more problems in the need for "science that is sellable" or "useful for society" for other things than to be a reasonable fundation for future science, so we get to know more and even better what we do not know! The last is the purpose of science as I see it!
Watch more of Iain here: th-cam.com/video/O9mG-dUhoLc/w-d-xo.html - in conversation with Sir Philip Pullman!

I can't express how much I enjoy every word of this wonderful person named Iain McGilchrist, I also can't express how much he is enlightening my mind.
You just did ;)
Thank you from my heart Signor McGilchrist.
Check out Hurley & Dennet's book Inside Jokes - Using Humor to Reverse-Engineer the Mind. It really does make sense with McGilchrist's insights.
"Plato represented the best of the right hemisphere and the worst from the left."
Very good question of Mark

Apparently, what you don't know is how to spell.
Too
