  1. Since I follow geopolitical events carefully, daily, and am also a visual artist, the picture I get is of a world map. What I see is the western hemisphere aligning with the left hemisphere of the brain, while the right hemisphere is in alignment with the more ancient cultures of the east. I've listened to many of Iain's talks and read some of his work, but this is the first time I've clearly envisioned it graphically/ geopolitically. It's quite amazing, actually. Thank you.

  2. Speaking of books... Have others seen what's happening to our libraries? Many have been permanently closed and others have had hundreds, thousands of books removed. I'm a US bibliophile and am greatly alarmed.

  4.  @annea3004  It's extremely important for the entire population, even those who can't afford their own libraries, to have them available. Ben Franklin came up with the idea for a "lending library" because a democracy depends on a well-read citizenry.

  5. And I'm talking about MILLIONS of books disappearing. Not just "certain" books.
