The Attack On Life and Understanding Our Times. A conversation with Iain McGilchrist and Mark Vernon 794

• um as you put it very strongly the sense that somehow life and nature is itself under attack
• tradition responsibility a kind of range of of areas that we do feel in our lives um
• an area that is very immediate in everyday life and our experience and there's an area that is perhaps more
• you're that bit more in control in command of your life and even as you're making your toast in the morning
• they're things that are kind of dangerous if they take over our lives so
• and we almost forget you know what life can be about it's that kind of
• increasingly um and so excluding um part of life um that perhaps is the most important part um
• there's a group of individuals who are going to take over our lives but very often they are as much the victims of
• where there isn't a mobile phone imagine what your life is like because you can't validate these codes so um
• breaking down and i remembered you know how much of my life i have really enjoyed um going with a friend and going
• care and all this nonsense actually just covers up a situation in which life is degraded it's becoming less human it's
• i mean is that we must be on our guard and fight back in our daily lives um for example saying you know
• for truth seeking not for understanding life and improving its quality but
• developed and also it's beginning to lack life that life itself is on the way and that's something i feel very very
• a people who i think don't any longer value life for what it is i think that what goes on in the sense of life is is
• value life for what it is i think that what goes on in the sense of life is is thin is feeble is waning because of our
• importantly even where we're evolved to know life to participate in life and even to co-create with life itself
• know life to participate in life and even to co-create with life itself um and that
• and there must have been something else that kept people engaged with life beyond just the sheer need to improve
• was things like beauty things like knowing not just of their own life but of the whole ecology of life around and
• knowing not just of their own life but of the whole ecology of life around and about them and engaging with that say
• there's an infinite amount more to human life than that as you say so um i'm completing an agreement there
• hand i believe that actually this very process in its antagonism to life and its antagonism to the spirit in its
• are nothing if not projecting machines our kind of inner life is a continuous process of fantasy production that we
• more in the world more connected more participating in life it's broadly the romantic
• knowledge of the world but also our enjoyment of life it it feels expansive of the soul and so that dynamic where
• society um when it um makes for more humanity makes for more life the opposite of what is so worrying about
• from pursuing an abstract idea but from testing out ideas on life this is really the the idea of the whole pragmatist
• actively aggressively evil forces in life but there's a wider notion of evil as well which comes about um from the
• who escaped with her life from robinsburg concentration camp and her whole story
• where life really will be given over we will be destroyed it will
• ancestors shed blood and lost their lives in order to achieve a world in which it would be possible
• um is so that more and more of life might flow into us so that we're less defended
• flow into us so that we're less defended against life um you know the virtue of love matters because we want
• calls the androgynous mind that can say yes to the whole of life allow all experiences to flow into her
• representing exploring mirroring um capturing more and more of life and so a figure like shakespeare is really
• his own um difficulties in life which no doubt there were and but could say yes to the
• there were and but could say yes to the whole of life and so transmit that to us um which is why it's you know
• can embrace more and more of life um and
• feel safe um as well and but so that we can um step more into life and embrace more there's something that feels really
• infantilized by the powers that control our life have the control um now through um bureaucracy and through technology to
• letting go of oneself increasingly during life and then ultimately the end of life that one is
• during life and then ultimately the end of life that one is able to discover more and more of life
• ultimately the end of life that one is able to discover more and more of life and
• that has arisen i think very much with the narrowing of the sense of what life is
• um that see that as part of the richness of life in fact um you know it's about receiving
• to let go of what it's got and because it sees that as the whole of life whereas the right is constantly alert to
• show a complete lack of understanding of the nature of life that it you know death is built into it there are limits
• need of is this broader vision of the world of life and of a human being
• which whatever else it might mean is that which our life longs for and is in the service of and
• that in terms of god or otherwise um the mechanical narrowing of life um driven by utility and the grasping as you
