#iainmcgilchrist — Public Fediverse posts

After a while, the way you've been looking stops feeling like a way of looking and starts feeling like just the way things are — and the possibility that it's been shaping what you find is easy to miss from inside it.

This week's reflection @ https://emotusoperandi.medium.com/putting-out-fires-vs-planting-more-trees-47022b338d04

I loved this two-hour(!) conversation with Oxford professor Iain McGilchrist, entitled “Wisdom Over Power: Why Contemplation & Wonder Are Essential for the Future of Humanity”.
Wide-ranging, but never boring, it takes you on a journey through the brain, spirituality and the power we all have to improve the well-being of our communities and the wider world.

I like Alex O'Connor (formerly the CosmicSkeptic, but softened since his militant atheist days), but as a biologist I was disappointed by this interview with Iain McGilchrist, a psychiatrist who takes an evo-neuro theory too far.

Introducing a divide of focussed vs wider attention of the left vs right brain, he says this is seen in science/logic vs religion/wonder.
