Iain McGilchrist on Pandemics, The Divided Brain, Physics, Morphic Fields, and Rene Girard
from David Gornoski · host David Gornoski
David Gornoski talks with renowned neuroscientist Iain McGilchrist on his groundbreaking paradigm of how the left and right hemispheres shape our world, institutions, and culture. Julian Jaynes's bicameral mind, Rupert Sheldrake's morphic field hypothesis, Rene Girard's mimetic theory, and Weiping Yu's dipolar particle theory are all explored with the premise of McGilchrist's "The Master and His Emissary" thesis in mind. Also, we explore how to teach children to employ right hemisphere balance, imitation, and violence.
