  1. This has to be one of the finest interviews I have ever heard and watched on the internet. Freddy Sayer brings out of Iain McGilchrist a waterfall of wisdom in words that do not go over our heads but straight into them. The only criticism or comment I would like to make and as I am not an academic, rather coming to this discussion as an artist, what I think Iain and quite frankly, a comfortable dozen or so intellectuals and powerful people around the globe are saying, is that civilization is teetering out of control. We are going to lose this wonderful life, etcetera and etcetera. When I hear Mr McGilChrist nod to the philosophy of ours being a sleeping giant on its deathbed, ours being the world as we know it. This is where I get off the bus and where I reject the point that we have entered into a doom-loop. This mentality has reached our highest thinkers, but I say nonsense to the tipping point gang---not that we won't surpass tipping points---but that the world and our civilization will change away into stardust. No; I have not evidence other than my optimism and my strong intuitive feeling that we are on the cusp of change, but we will be at the helm of the good ship humanity for as long as it takes, because we have learned from mankind’s past mistakes.
