How Left-Brain Thinking is Killing Civilization | Dr. Iain McGilchrist x Brain Bar

What if the way we use our brains is shaping the fate of civilization? Iain McGilchrist, psychiatrist and author of The Master and His Emissary, argues that modern culture has fallen under the spell of the left hemisphere — obsessed with analysis, control, and short-term gain. In this talk at Brain Bar, he reveals how the neglected right hemisphere offers a very different way of seeing the world: holistic, intuitive, and rooted in meaning. What happens when a society prizes one mode of thinking at the expense of the other? And what might change if we restored the balance? --- About Brain Bar Brain Bar is the world's first futuretainment company.
