10:00 am Introduction
Lecture: What is the Matter with Things? Our brains, our delusions and the unmaking of the world - Iain McGilchrist
11:30 am Lecture: Recovering our humanity - Iain McGilchrist
2:00 pm David Lorimer interview and discussion with Iain McGilchrist on The Matter with Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions and the Unmaking of the World
3:00 pm Audience Q&A
Through this seminar, Iain McGilchrist explores the relevance of the hemisphere hypothesis in 2023 and asks, what is the matter with things? Where are we now? Can we really neglect the sacred and divine? Why, indeed, are we engaged in destroying everything that is valuable to us? Is it possible for us to recover our humanity?
The Matter with Things presents the most articulate and compelling argument for an alternative philosophy of life. Following the paths of cutting-edge neurology, philosophy and physics, McGilchrist reveals how each leads us to a similar vision of the world, one that is both profound and beautiful - and happens to be in line with the deepest traditions of human wisdom.
It is a vision that returns the world to life, and us to a better way of living in it: one we must embrace if we are to survive.
David Lorimer is a visionary polymath who is Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network, Editor of Paradigm Explorer and Chair of the Galileo Commission. His most recent books are A Quest for Wisdom and his collection of poems, Better Light a Candle.

Great to hear a voice of sanity amid so much prevailing noise as we are drowned with the left brain analytic.
This man is a gem of our times!! A man that stands up for core values and outlines a warmingly panentheistic view of God.

Saw The Sound Of Freedom the other day... there’s a great need for recovering humanity, but I get the impression the British don’t really want to know. The good news is that it was very successful in America, MAGA don’t repudiate God... makes a MASSIVE difference!

American exceptionalism? Is that your comment? "America" rejected MAGA in the last election?

@@atthehops To quote Yoram Hazony “Charles Krauthammer’s argument for American “Universal Dominion,” written at the dawn of the post-Cold War period, calls for America to create a “super-sovereign,” which will preside over the permanent “depreciation… of the notion of sovereignty” for all nations on earth. Krauthammer adopts the Latin term pax Americana to describe this vision, invoking the image of the United States as the new Rome: Just as the Roman Empire supposedly established a pax Romana (or “Roman peace”) that obtained security and quiet for all of Europe, so America would now provide security and quiet for the entire world. This flowering of imperialist political ideals and projects in the last generation should have sparked a rigorous debate between nationalists and imperialists over how the political world should be organized. But until very recently, a discussion of this kind was largely avoided. Since 1990, when Margaret Thatcher was deposed by her own party for expressing doubts about the European Union, virtually no one in a position of influence in either America or Europe has showed much interest in picking a fight with the broad vision at the heart of these twin empire-building projects. This uncanny unanimity allowed both the European Union and American “world order” to move forward without triggering an explosive public debate.” MAGA rejects imperialism, and imperialism fraudulently rejected MAGA in the 2020 election
