So true.

I’m not sure , but I think he is right, cause I suppose I’m behaving similar to what he is saying

TM mediation is awesome for this!

There’s also the Hesychast prayer of the heart known to the mystic Orthodox monks. There are many in various cultures. The purest is Soto Zen practice.

3:44 It’s a curse to have more connections in your brain if you live in a world of animals. I don’t recommend it. It’s alluring but it’s alluring for the ego that craves to inflate through understanding or mere experiencing it craves to grasp.

2:36 Hitbonenut Jewish type of meditation such as meditating on a Hebrew letter. Aryeh Kaplan in Sepher Yetzirah alludes to it.

2:02 No, you don’t ‘try’ anything. It is is. And you just are.

1:18 It can. Meditative practice. You register everything as an impartial observer. There is no aim in that. You just ARE. Attention is funnelling, narrowing of perception whilst you fixate your attention on something. Once you achieve contemplation it’s addictive and quite disabling in the contemporary world.

What exercise?!?

Nicely done Andrea. You did your homework on your guest, and brought out many fine points of understanding, to see IM and his work through his family system and intellectual inheritance. You looked at who his is as a person, and how his personal and intellectual development informed his theories. Three fellowships at ALL Souls! Twenty-one years of patronage at Oxford to produce his masterwork. Most interviewers skim his book and its concepts, but you looked at his life, which I believe that he found quite refreshing. In the 9 years that I have studied him, I only diverge on two points or perhaps three. That the left is paternal and the right is maternal, that the development of these "gendered" halves is the steady march of DNA to create a dominant species, and that the binary processes of the brain create two fundamental takes on the world that extrapolate upwards from their Darwinian imperative into all sorts of sociopolitical artificial constructs. This is because, and I believe you noted (?) that his last books are a justification of the first, "Against Criticism." If we add neuroscience to Against Criticism, with Sass and Cutting, then you get M&E and the Matter with Things.

I was disappointed to aprehend ". Military intelligence " ! At 1;04. ; ; 43 / 2. ??! Surely this is an oxymoron at least in this context.

Why on earth did that have to end?! Magnificent interchange ❤

Notice how juststopoil haters point out the hipocrisy in the fact that they use high vis vests and that they are made of oil. Yet nobody in this commmentsection are complaining that these guys are sitting in a house made out if materials taken from the natural world, using lots of energy. Probably because theres less ignorant people watching a video like this. Dont be a climate denier.

OMG You’re right! This century at least the opposite of death is presented as mechanism Not immortality as supported by religion in freedom or reincarnation but as a new immortality Living through or as part machine!! And yet were coerced to believe that we are simply machines which tbh feels like being the living dead which could be described as im-mortality in language because such a dehumanising principle robs us of our mortality too!!!😱

McGilchrist claims to be making a revolution in thinking, but his work on hemispheres, panpsychism and human values do not amount to a revolution. Is he greatly exaggerating?

Thank you. ❤❤

29:30 points is most important for a good life you must balance these perspectives and then contemplate the path forward the less importance can easily go forward with intuition The most important must be examined exhaustively, obtaining every aspect of knowledge available.

You should definitely talk to Anirban Bandyopadhyay at NIMS Tsukuba, Japan.

christ almighty tha was a long introoooooooooooo

Nauseating nudges in the direction of machine ethics; they will probably make laws against machine discrimination, which is disgusting.

Consciousness is the emergent mental state of an organism's survival patterns. Higher consciousness is what comes when those survival patterns are socially-based. And so the fighting is not about with/without (per Pink Floyd, Marxism, etc.), rather, the sanctity of consciousness, or "right" consciousness.

What's the point of identifying the problem; when its clear that nothing can be done to change it? I like the way these men think, and the conversations are fascinating; but the truth stands: intelligent people like this lack the political and financial power to do or change anything. We have built monstrous, corrupt and world destroying systems that are utterly out of control. Every political or economic figurehead that pretends to take control of it; is simply BEING controlled. That's the irony of their position; to get into power and stay their they have to preserve the status quo. The status quo today is eco-cide; environmental suicide on a global scale. That's what it takes to keep the economy and political machines running as they are. Who can come up with a solution to solve what is essentially 'the entire world'? No one.

"The two hemispheres of my mind were in the sharpest contrast - on the one side, a many-islanded sea of myth and poetry, on the other a glib and shallow rationalism. Nearly everything I loved I believed to be imaginary. Nearly everything I believed to be real I thought grim and meaningless."

First time I've heard this juicy gem. Gotta love Billy.

28:00 the conditions for meaning (for personal reference)

Brilliant. From this moment on ...for me. 😊😮😊

Thank you! The comment from the man in the audience at the end made me cry. I'm personally very much in contact with my right hemisphere and it's so sad to realise what people who aren't are missing out on.

Long ago I was calling this "acquired autism." Yes, it's rampant.

If bureaucracy is the bane of civilization then perhaps you could revisit Donald trumps policies. Like orban in Hungary he is much attacked but never over anything of substance. Trump removed more bureaucracy from American government than all previous presidents combined. His policy as president and now in his campaign is to continue his policy of removing 7 regulations for every 1 new regulation added.

I noticed Ian thinks excess bureaucracy is the end of civilization. A central part of Donald trumps presidency before and his campaign now is that for every new regulation proposed, 7 must be removed. As a result trump removed more bureaucracy from America than all other president combined. Still a long way to go.

Next time, get three psychoanalysts together - these guys have nothing significant to offer that is relevant to the meta crisis at hand.

Three TOTAL geniuses, just descended from olympus, discussing and deciding the future of THE HUMANITY, without a shred of irony. If I am not wrong, all the problems that you mentioned, were also okayed by a small set of "geniuses", who, for their own reasons escalated the everything that modernity had to offer, for money and material prosperity. And the bearded guy is just presenting pseudo-intellectual word salads, which I suppose is intended to present him as a TOTAL genius!? God bless the internet, for the first time in human history, we have more geniuses and experts than laymen. Each one of them is freshly descended from olympus, with fresh, original, ingenious and creative ideas to share, not at all word salads filled with ad-hoc analysis and cliches. This isn't a problem of humanity, this is a problem of western capitalism, and the west constitutes just 20% of the human population. I can't fathom why would you talk in terms of "THE HUMANITY", "HUMAN CIVILIZATION", "HUMAN NATURE", "OUR", "US", while it is all just western categories, western abstractions, western perspectives, western problems and Western solutions. Last time I remember, no one here did agree with you in the first place. Most of the problems will go away, only the west could keep its weapons and "intellectual" shenanigans inside its own shores.

Pearl-clutching galore!

Religion is Right hemisphere, Science is Left. When not in our Right Mind, all that is left, is not.

Dr. McGilchrist I turn on a lecture or talk and begin my chores. Please consider having fewer ads? RUclips has no qualms with presenting 20 and 30 minute infomercials imbedded in your content. If you place ads at the end, I will make the conscious effort to always like and comment while those commercials play which will benefit you and leave my work gloves on my hands. It would be a shame if the cost to listen to you became so feet in units of time as to be unaffordable. I am often slinging my scythe. Stopping interrupts fodder collection. At these prices, your books must cost quite a bit in bills if that tag is comparable to the cost in minutes! Thanks!

Oh this is gonna need a few listens for a dummy like me.

your poetry readings are inspiring.

Isn’t “always becoming” a Cabalistic idea ? A Flux relativism which is opposed to the Law of non-contradiction ?

When I started mirrored left hand writing I started to feel myself more as a whole and in the flow, as well as part of unified world and flow.

The right brain is always thinking of life,things and events as concrete ideas. While the Right brain is always trying to conceive them as Subjective Experiences of immaterial Value. This awareness is everything. It makes me think about the saying by Jesus: MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD. Man the duo, one needing a material EX-istence[bread] whereas the other aspect needs the subjective IN-spiration of the divine truth that underlies every single manifestation of reality.... Much more can be said but we forebear.

Love it, it be nice to bring more human connection via employing local.

oh, how fun 🤩feels like i am stuck in a self appointed guru's mind. thx for the conversation guys!

Fantastic conversation. Thank you.

Every time I hear another of his discussions, I gain more insights.

Bit of a long shot. But i would love to have the opportunity to ask Dr. Ian mcgilchrist A Question. After 6 year's of my own research i have found myself in the same place with the hemispheres. 🙏

Not 'covid', just ignorance and paranoid hypochondria...

Amazing stuff. Almost ruined by the audio: someone is a constant sniffer and mics badly positioned. Sorry to be a grinch but 3 hrs of hearing someone snorting during valuable monologues is painful.

we do Nkow where to go church. BUT ITS BEEN RELAGETED TO A MYTH.

We will probably eventually realize that all is consciousness as fundamental with mind emerging with quantum events and matter formed out of vibration at different rates. The Big Bang and its aftermath: creation, the manifest and its dissolution in a continuing cycle until the cycle, or day ends in night. And then there is another day and night and so on.

"The environment and the organism become what they are via interdependent mutual constitution." The thing in and of itself yields to the thing between the selves. all is one.
