I'm going to stalk Dr. Iain's talks and books forever and ever. Thank you for voicing beautifully what I was feeling sharply yet without words. This is so important to all of us...

He has written an incredible book… It is the most staggering work of our time.

Mind expanding piece of work. Massive amount of work.

So happy for this wonderful man getting out there for recognition. Excellent work.

Thank you so much for coming to the University of Basel! Your work is of immense importance and you presented it beautifully. I should add that Dr. McGilchrist intended to present with the support of slides. Unfortunately, due to a series of technical issues these couldn't be presented (hence the static Windows background). Fortunately, this was hardly noticed due to Dr. McGilchrist's incredible oratory skills .

I enjoy listening to Dr. iian McGilchrist's lectures and will be learning for the rest of my life, gaining more wisdom from both of his books. Amazing!

There is a comfort hearing this, knowing we don't know, a place to start from. This talk, does express to all, each understanding exactly, from where they need to. Thank you Iain.

Thank you Iain, you are a much needed Gift to humankind, the planet & it's denizens. Your enduring curiousity, courage, quest for truth, persistence & systems viewpoints & multidisciplinary research etc etc has formulated an encompasing, brilliant & wise Vision, which we need going forward, in order to heal & balance, come to peace & mutual acceptance, deep understanding & the collabrative solutions which may benefit all beings & our Gaia parent. You push back the desert to create an oasis for all. Much gratitude, Tana Karen

Dr. McGilchrist’s work illuminates my life-long experience as an artist. Gives me better ways of thinking and speaking about art. I would like to have found his work in my youth, before it was written!

Wonderful talk as always. I personally differ in my conclusion as to the root cause. Instead of society as the cause. Society is the consequence of traumatized humans failing to grow up and develop and maintain wisdom over time. Traditional societies were a technology to prevent trauma from the world and maintain and promote greater consciousness. By Trauma I mean the misperception of reality by receiving consciousness prematurely and having no means to integrate that new consciousness that results in the feeling of a crisis of life or death People are getting stuck developmentally and staying as psychological children. Any typical developing person will move their consciousness from left to right building a centering consciousness over time but if they’re traumatized they’re frozen and stuck using a single hemisphere to make sense of what feels like a chronically dangerous environment because they failed to be able to properly fight or flee from what was or appeared to be a dangerous situation. Something as small as spilled milk feels dangerous if it makes you feel your parents will stop loving you and therefor stop feeding you and you will obviously die without food. Trauma is the root, society is a consequence of traumatized people developing a civilization. We no longer have elders because elder hood comes after adulthood and we no longer have adults Eventually it leads to death unless it is revitalized and it likely starts over and over with only a few of the wise remaining to restart civilization

Wow. Nice one. Fascinating. I think the spiritual aspect is missing in all this. Reincarnation karma etc is a real possibility..

@@damondavies8708 yeah but if people arent ready to realize they never grew up they’re probably not ready to consider that people are at different stages in their cosmic evolution and each stage of childhood tracks back to both a great cosmic cycle of a particular kalpa as well as a more recent earthly evolutionary of a particular yuga and there are demons who are just spiritual beings who themselves have failed to grow up during past kalpas and are fighting to get humans to stay trapped as children so they too will be trapped when this kalpa ends creating a new class of demons for the next time the properly developing souls incarnate Believe me I’ve tried to get people to understand that they got scared as a kid and that’s why they still wear Batman shirts or play video games when they’re 50 and it doesn’t go very far The Rudolf Steiner level stuff isn’t going to reach many people including anthroposophists But I like that you’re thinking about it

Try Mummy has an electro magnetic scream , that only humans under the age of 7 can hear And once you use your electro magnetic ear , that kind of relegates the sound reality to a lesser place in the hierarchy (language) Humanity becomes controlled by those in a permanent state of Alarm , who also stop releasing oxytocin on touch , you dont attach when your running away otherwise known as the wolves who devour the sheep But the narrative is only understood by the Shepard's , now a Shepard is a wolf who has released oxytocin on touch And once you grasp this natural Triad , its always 3 the original then the split Then the conversation takes a turn

Can you write a book about your insights, please?

Thank you!

Thank you so much for this. Amazing presentation. I do think that reincarnation and karma etc and the trauma as previously mentioned is part of all this, but this work is an element of crucial importance. May the word spread!

The Stiria Terminulias Why does it go "all around the houses" to go next door ?

Of course you know him !

"The fundamental nature of reality is relations" I think I recall neurodivergent people have more symmetric activations so this info may not apply. The universality of two brain halves might be more about local symmetry: you don't want to waste white matter (and instead more highly interconnect each half) to places that low level process one eye, audio from one ear, left vs right arm etc. Also the split increases the total gray matter surface area. For the top level when left right is integrated the corpus callosum and subcortical brain may be enough. Just guessing. If any of the animal tests show the same dichotomy, I would be wrong I suppose, but I'm not sure there are comparable animal tests. In any case the asymmetric case is fascinating.

I don't ask this antagonistically, but why do you label him a thief?

The problem with, ‘ trust the science,’ is that it’s black and white thinking; ignoring the “human.”
