Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
My dad was left-handed and always had a tough time in a right-handed world. When I discovered that left-handed people use the right side of their brain and vice versa I came up with this humor to ease their lot in life. "People who are left-handed use the right side of their brain and people who are right-handed use what's left." Dad laughed and that was all that mattered.
😂 Nice!!
As a lefty… I appreciate that.
If that's what you came away with, you utterly missed mcgilchrist's point. You are adhering to the old myths about the right and left hemispheres that he debunks... in the first minute
@@TJ-kk5zf It was making light of a cute joke a child had for their parent…relax. Smile a little! It does wonders for the heart and both hemispheres.
@@Ruthyism- he's trying to dispel the myths that you're reinforcing
Listening to Dr. McGilchrist describe the process of receiving his fellowship to "All Souls" is amazing. Some truly gifted people out there...
Being able to watch these two brilliant men and share in their conversation was a blessing! Thank-you to Hillsdale for helping us to be wiser through great interviews such as this.
This is a brilliant conversation! Gratitude!
I am so happy to find this interview. I joined Hillsdale College because I wanted to study some of the things they teach. I completed the C.S.Lewis on Christianity course and the one on Children's Classical Literature and enjoyed both thoroughly. I have stopped for a short time as I consider the next one I feel drawn to study but I know who Larry is! And Iain has to be my favorite speaker at this time (2024). I am going to enjoy this. And now, to listen.....:)
I am very grateful to hear the issue of discovering for one's self expanded on. Thank you, Dr. McGilchrist and thank you hillsdale college for providing the venue. 🙏
Last week Academy of Ideas releases a video centered around Iain McGichrist's ideas, and in that same week this comes out.
Change (in our world's perceptions)is afoot.
Listening to a man that resonates. We listen and believe. Very intriguing. Enjoyed this conversation.
Outstanding conversation! This knowledge of the brain has a massive impact on our understanding of personal relationships, parenting, education, politics, theology and the church… Big stuff! God bless you and thank you for this…
Thanks much you both for sharing your wisdom with us.
Blessings!
I have great respect for Hillsdale College and the courses available online.
Wonderful, informative dialogue that sparks my curiosity. Thank you to you both.
Even though Consciousness was not once mentioned , the road was well paved and I was delighted with such superb landscape. Thank You Dr McGilchrist and Mr Larry P. Annn
57:20 there you go
36:55 this point is fantastic!
Brilliant!!!
Wonderful conversation. Two delightful men. Thank you.
Awareness is known by awareness alone.
What an excellent discussion! Thoroughly enjoy being exposed to great ideas thought by great thinkers!
I could listen to you two gentlemen all day long!❤❤
Two amazing men that do so much good in this world. Both set the bar very high, certainly examples to follow . I hope to get there one day
That was an amazing conversation and a gift.
Thank you. Can I have some more please?
Wow. The opening wide angle shot of that room blew my mind. Such a pretty room. The lighting. Very movie.
I hope it's not a very sophisticated podcast set.
it is a set. Not the fireplace, the light on the floor that never moves.
Observing the unconscious body language of expression during this interview makes me wonder how different it would be if both were walking side by side in a natural green or blue space. Wisdom and wonder watching this discussion will widen my brain. Thank you both.
What bothered me was the artifice... for a talk centered around perception of reality.
Thats not an actual library but a set. Note how the light beam on the floor does not move for the entire hour. Note the fireplace that does not flicker. Hillsdale College may be as much a place of higher education as Prager U... but they did present dr. McGilchrist who is a true evangelist for a way of seeing that could free the world
Wonderful!
You told us about a commentary on Aristotle being on your website, but your website does not show it. Anyway, thanks for the interesting conversation.
You never stop learning.....
Thank you! ❤🙏🏼💯 respect. 23:43
Thank you for. a welcomed unveiling.
It would be amazing to stand behind ian
*The unconscious is where intuition dwells.*
Regarding freedom, I think part of the problem with people thinking they have total freedom is that they often don't take into consideration the flip side of freedom. To the extent that one has freedom of choice one becomes responsible for the consequences of those choices.
Choosing to Drive drunk, then responsible if a pedestrian is killed as a result.
All of the left-handed commenters really really really really really really really miss the point. In fact, you are embracing a neurological mythology which he dismisses in the first minute of this talk.
Dr. McGilchrist is a far fuller understanding of "the matter with things" than can be found in the pedagogy offered at Hillsdale. I've seen the ads they run on youtube and by nature of it being founded to elevate a western chauvinist ideology it is fully committed to left hemispheric perception. BUT, if students and staff of Hillsdale choose to explore more of McGilchrist's profound and utterly simple (and even intuitive) works (daresay "philosophy"), You would soon find yourself enriched and immersed in wonder and humility... that it was all here the entire time.
I see a resonance between Dr. McGilchrist's ideas and those of Aristotle. The process involved by the left brain would appear to parallel what is pursued by the intellectual virtue of "episteme." The process involved by the right brain would appear to parallel what is pursued by the intellectual virtues of "techne" and "phronesis"...especially the latter. Episteme, explicated as theory, is an explicit form of knowledge. Phronesis is a tacit form of knowledge and is embodied in specific contexts through tacit knowing of the unique particulars of a social context (subsidiary awareness according to Polanyi). Phronesis certainly could be viewed as a more wholistic and intuitive "master" that would treat episteme as the "servant" in facilitating moral-practical human judgments. Would have loved to have gotten Dr. McGilchrist's reaction to these observations.
All Souls at 21 !
Left hemisphere: "I know what I know"
Righ hemisphere: "Yeah and look where that has brought us, AH!"

Our 4.5 year old uses both hands. She is our 5th out of 6 kids. Everyone else is right handed. Wonder how her interactions and world are different inside. She does act a bit differently than the others.
❤❤
Even though I can quote movie lines after the first viewing some movies I’ll watch again and again.
I think I could do McGilchrist’s interviews in his place.
Come to think about it I could probably do the same with Michael Levin.
Thankfully no one can copy me( well maybe my brother ) .
I have resolved to give up no more information until the time is right and only then by direct means.
The brain is a Mandelbrot set complex morphology!
Understand why it is so!
16:21 It's like the conscious brain has memory and that allows for continuous awareness and the subconscious is deeply in the moment and involved in construction or building the equation from the recall of information, so together they create and solve and daydream
So I was analyzing my toys as a child because I was taking them apart and often couldn't put them back together because of damage . So I was being neglected when my parents tried to find toys I couldn't break apart
Human nature is heart related brain 🧠 is different department .they're .No actions is possible without agreeing of both super organs 😊
The host is decent, but I can't help thinking of the latin proverb - Cave ab homine unius libri...how many times did he mention Aristotle? Still, cool, respectful, composed host with respectful questions and just general discourse decency.
Pops these Angels who persevere and Heirs Hosts shared "i" AM will look at. Unto all who tempt and to provoke WHO? He remembering "DO NO MORE"! NEVERTHELESS!
Could diet influence brain hemisphere dynamics, potentially easing symptoms of mental health conditions? I'm curious whether adopting a ketogenic or carnivore diet might mitigate symptoms of depression or schizophrenia, considering the theory that an overactive left brain is linked to schizophrenia. How does diet impact this dynamic?

Moley had an idea! He jumped out of his seat and shouted reuka! Have you any idea how rich this could make me...
Everyone talking about this guy & left right brain right now.
19:06
To me it seems a paradox, the left brain is like a bank as we create, invent and innovate the advancement gets deposited mapped into the left brain. The masses withdraw, the imaginative, innovative enjoy and express and contribute for a moment. Seems a hope would be to inspire amplify and perpetuate the right brains attributes.
This guy and sapolsky need to debate
At the end of the day, we are all self taught
you know we're monkeys , right ?
so NO , definitely NOT self taught , neither is EVERY OTHER ANIMAL ON THIS PLANET
they ALL learn by COPYING other members of the species , except for the Cuckoo bird
36:22 gaslighting starts. If you are wondering, my conservative teachers are Mark Carder and Ajahn Martin. But I am not conservative.
700 million years?
I was left handed until 2004 wen i had an encounter with something and started writing strange stuff.
The encounter was with CGJUNG
We don't know human nature - we know nature distorted, perverted and destroyed by a total social historical process that includes intellect and civilization. The 'divided nature' is actually nature dominated by culture, producing a fictituous duality between what actually is, and what we think. But what we think is part of actuality. Alas, actuality forms no part of what we think and can never do, because thought cannot touch the actual. It can only abstractly 'represent' the actual. That is not touching the actual. That is not knowing the actual. Only the actual ever is, and it is what is. It is your life, your world, your consciousness, your actuality, your existence, so many words for the one THAT. Only consciousness is. Everything else, including the world, are mere words for patterns in sensation, sensations being patterns in awareness, awareness being the only thing that always ever is, and never changes, and never speaks or labels or asserts so can never be wrong. It can never be right or wrong. It can never be me or you. It just is, and nothing can touch it, because it is already nothing, as well as all that is. These are facts. You can only see these facts. Thought cannot touch them.
Interesting, but Dr. Arnn was a distraction. He kept pulling Dr. McGilchrist away from the core of the issue by asking somewhat irrelevant questions about his personal life, rather than the subject at hand. I would have asked about species, gender and racial aspects of the divided brain. For example, how is it that only mammals have connections between the two halves. How does the lack of the connection affect non-mammal behavior. Isn't it true that women have more connections? And are there racial differences. These are actually very important for our time.
Pops it's vital! For a strongest Heirs Hosts shared "i" AM to raised an infant daughter! Specially the most Hated Man! My Beautiful shared "i" AM. What is Hate? Thy "i" AM beautiful will say, is murder unto Thee! Likewise bring to remembrance unto many Who am I beautiful?
Our beautiful Women remember ye all just Women in front! Remember without my Heirs Hosts shared "i" AM ye all can't be MOTHERS in front! Remember from thee both as 1! Here "i" AM= many shared "i" AM! Pops what is singularity? Pops ye know already! Where all name nor names, #'s, nor formulas came from 1st? Even my Angels who persevere knows? Why silent? But to observe 1ST! Even though have not said a WORD UNTO US! Silent in front! Know thy places and positions in FRONT! Heard!
One likes skirts, but that's just bait, that's just bait, because in the fourth a witchcraft blueprint is made :))
Hello Sir, I visited your channel. Your content is very nice. But your video can not reach maximum view cause.
1. You cannot use the SEO video title.
2. your channel does not have proper SEO.
3. You cannot use a video SEO tag.
4. You solve your problem, and your content gets maximum view.
Pops which ye prefer? What is an atomic bomb? Is like, what is OLDER THAN TREES? Nor who sitteth upon older than TREES? Heaven fled away liken unto scrolls and the mountains moved out from their places? The SUN became black Sackcloth of HAIR and the Moon blood.
Nor "DO NO MORE"! Therefore preserve an OPEN DOOR! NOONE CAN SHUT!
Interesting to see that Hillcrest is promoting Hermetic Thought. Interesting. 🤔 😢
People making ideas way to difficult.
it's to snag people like this comment section , who don't know anything ABOUT anything ,
which makes this lecture so enticing to people with less then 2 braincells
27:40 How self-contented these two sound, damning social media as the world's destroyer even as they bask in their proud ignorance of what they're damning. Imagine trying to end a pandemic by paying attention to a xylographer who never studied virology.
This is why we need analysist, reductionists, specialists of all sorts, instead of world-fleeing, college-secluded generalist nostalgists overeager to resurrect a "man of letters" type whose sell date ended three centuries ago.
Why is Iain McGilchrist popping up everywhere now? His book was only useful insofar the clinical cases it presented, his entire methodology is flawed otherwise; The left hemisphere which he constantly characterizes as is "Western" (whatever that means) is specifically what is activated during meditation, in particular with lomg-term meditators. In addition, it is the Right hemisphere, not the left which is associated with depression. Whatever original contribution in the book of his is not even worth considering. A Cryptofacist is what he is.
I often joke about how "XYZ is western" when the alt right says something about undeveloped economies. Meanwhile, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are eastern. They are developed economies and have crap birth rates.
