The Matter with Things | Iain McGilchrist | EP 278 366,180

• ian mcgillcrist i've spoken with dr mcgill chris a number of times uh the first time very intense half an hour
• mcgill chris a number of times uh the first time very intense half an hour conversation which was about 150th as
• so that you can grab it and at the same time not yourself become prey to someone else who wants to grab you so there's
• has meant that we need to be able to devote a lot of time to theorizing to mapping the world to exploring the
• sequences and the totality at the same time because those are obviously very different things you could say that and
• world and in fact you can experimentally suppress one hemisphere at a time and what we find is that when the left
• different ways of looking we can now i think for the first time and this is exciting
• that's one reason that that i need to spend some time on that particular aspect um
• that the united states is in a recession now is not the time to have all your money in the stock market or tied to the
• if it has a footprint on it do i touch it if it's folded too many times do i touch it if it's on the floor do i touch
• the explicit statement that we make and so all the time that you're having to make explicit what you would do under
• following our intuitions that's often because 99 percent of the time we followed this intuition it would
• in the 1920s he had spent a tremendous amount of time in the world of the imagination imagining for example what
• einstein himself famously used to say that it took him a long time afterwards to explain in words how he reached
• be able to play a note but that doesn't mean that time was wasted the left hemisphere's contribution is
• might call the constituents of reality so i look at guess what time i look at space i look at flow
• scientist scientism types to win in religious arguments all the time is that they basically make the presumption that
• when god tells people at the beginning of time that the purpose of mankind is to subdue
• the place where you first started and i know it for the first time but you actually come back to a position which
• to you so i've been thinking i thought a long time about the relationship between truth and
• there's enormous consonants throughout the world and across time on what we find to constitute beautiful good and
• cheesecake and but anyway we don't need to waste time on that why do i find beauty so very compelling partly because
• mythological question so i've been spending a lot of time trying to unpack the story of the tower
• understand less well than at any other time in human history and we may know more technically about
• and i think that people are gravitating to this because in it for the first time they can begin to see
• need to undertake it efficiently and in a short period of time but if the question of well what's all this for in
• go there because it will take us for a long time to discuss but that the inanimate and animate worlds are not

Iain McGilchrist, 'We Need to Act' 93,480

• with your work you've been on rebel wisdom a few times your work ties together neuroscience
• allow it to develop some of the times your trust will be misplaced of course
• about this i have said this so many times before that i have to just repeat myself
• described time and again and they say also
• also takes up an awful lot of people's time and attention which is not
• next target it's looking for targets all the time whereas the right hemisphere literally has a quite different kind of
• more than we do but also we don't see it in time we've we've time sliced time has become very
• but also we don't see it in time we've we've time sliced time has become very thin it's this moment now where i am but
• but doing so in a way that has meaning at the time rather than abstract
• sense of that tethering to a place to a time to a collection of those that we love
• picture the consciousness of the observer at the same time that that was happening biology was moving away from a
• and rash and possibly mistaken but maybe at times right way of looking at the world

The Attack On Life and Understanding Our Times. A conversation with Iain McGilchrist and Mark Vernon 83,628

• to have a chance to talk through some of the troubles of our times um trying to make sense of some of them
• emergencies when i'm traveling but i don't like to be using it all the time because i think it has a toxic effect on
• proposing to come on to which is a point that's been made for some time it was made by
• headache for us it takes up so much of our time and when you think of
• and when you think of how expensive the time of all the people involved in this drama is and how many
• increasingly things seem to take a very very long time and be very much less human than they
• unfortunately space is curved and mental space is curved and time is curved and what happens as you push is that you
• deceive me our intuitions most of the time are extremely good and much more alive
• opposite of what is so worrying about our times now yes yes that's that's that's lovely
• it's one that's used a lot in our times um and it's really good to understand quite what it's meant so you
• i mean at times of course i maybe seem to be advocating for example the right
• always stands out to me because i've spent a lot of time um thinking and writing about dante
• but look just to weave in something else which you've touched on a few times so i want to i mean to say more about which
• of her her own and because she's a woman in her time that was not readily available to um to her to people like
• um saying yes to this and no to that and you know there's a time for that of course because you know we need to
• you come closer um to the modern time um you find that actually the person themselves is as
• it's very useful to recognize the seriousness of our times but also
• the opportunity for our times as well um you know it it it's calling it's calling much from us
• work your books your discussions are so valuable to our times because they enable us to respond
• and that i think speaks to us at this time so being able to move on i think is is the key message in your

Iain McGilchrist Λ John Vervaeke on Reality, God, Meaning, Consciousness, and Being 59,464

• and consciousness john and i have also spoken several times on this podcast and you can see the thumbnails here and the
• catalog references and so on that takes time and what it means is that i put it out on youtube and then i have a lag so
• subjects you previously had a difficult time grocking okay thank you and enjoy today's episode we'll start this by
• self-destructive behavior um and that the cross time and culture people have come up with complex systems
• brew the best cup of coffee you've ever made at home then it's time to try trade coffee right now trade is offering our
• so um i i think reasons in fact in danger in our time and also neither do i have anything to say against science
• i don't know i mean for that will be in the description how you'll find the time to read it i don't know but in this part
• is time motion space matter consciousness what are values what his purpose what is
• um so it goes down the line from there to in our time or more recent time anyway owen battlefield and and so on
• um we've got a second idea that our lives are made up of moments like time slices but they're not they are like a
• quote i believe ian you mentioned it the last time you and john spoke on the podcast
• realize that you know them for the very first time and that experience is a sacred experience
• the flow state i realize actually yes i have been in the flow state so much time has passed by but i can consciously
• the fact that you're not aware but i wanted just to talk about time because there's a sense in which time is passing
• wanted just to talk about time because there's a sense in which time is passing in which we're outside the flow
• another kind of being in the flow of time where we're not standing on the bank of the river with a clipboard and a
• moving we're moving with the river so relative to us as it where time is still but in fact nonetheless the flow is
• but in fact nonetheless the flow is happening time is passing we are part of it it just depends on whether we're
• that when we when we when we were start reflecting on time and i'm not saying we shouldn't but we
• and i'm not saying we shouldn't but we lose time in and and you know i mean this is this is the way to distract this
• once and i have seen that well maybe more than once but not a lot of times but just to make but the point i'm
• i mean augustine said it famously i know what time is until somebody asks me and i'm not i don't want to get too much
• i'm not i don't want to get too much into the philosophy of time but there are
• ridiculous pseudo postmodern pun there are times when timing matters and there's times when the future
• are times when timing matters and there's times when the future matters
• of ratio religio how am i properly bound to time simplistic models i do not think give us
• logos was a secondary kind of truth which over time took over from it but it was through through my thoughts that
• problem yeah yeah many times i have these intimations when i do this podcast and i
• um i gotta i got very excited at times because

Beyond Materialism: The Matter With Things | with Dr. Iain McGilchrist 31,694

• that it is steep very much in the medieval vision and and all the time when you were talking about the dark
• things there's a tendency once one moves on in time to try and um make everything consonant but there's
• have to deal you know i'm here with my mother that i fight with all the time but now we're celebrating this saint
• are not they need to co-exist one is the sense of being together over time and space and the other was of the
• it must actually involve that at the same time yeah definitely definitely um and so i think
• the so-called building blocks i mean about things like time and space and matter and consciousness
• goodness i'm going to say what has happened to truth in these times what has happened to goodness what has
• know being non-being he's he's beyond all things but at the same time he is to be found everywhere and
• design and so so it seems like it's a good time to talk about that no i agree completely and of course
• i can you can explain it to for a certain amount amount of time but then you know the everybody knows
• then they don't people say you need to spend time with the kids like no you can pay attention to your child for 15
• mcgill chris thank you so much for your time and for for meeting with me was it was a wonderful conversation

Iain McGilchrist & Sharon Dirckx • Brain science, consciousness & God 28,912

• the hemispheres and saw that three times we'd started off in greece and in rome with a very
• and by the time you were doing this you were a christian um
• said that science moves forward a funeral by female at a time yes yeah interesting um sharon anything to add to
• explosive increase in the amount of time we now have to spend just within the last five years
• front of the world it's clearing all that away so that for the first time we can see reality as it is those of you
• that's not to say maths can't inspire someone but at the same time certainly exactly but but there's a sense in which
• obvious reasons that you must have heard a thousand times before the holocaust
• so that's kind of how i think the conversation would take a long time i don't actually accept the

The Wisdom Of Intuition - Iain McGilchrist | Modern Wisdom Podcast 455 23,862

• driving me to write um against my will at times and and to complete exhaustion at times but
• um against my will at times and and to complete exhaustion at times but i think that the serious point and
• that what is there in this universe so i look at things like time and space and matter and consciousness but also things
• interesting is you've been working at this for a long time and you suggested that your intuition around this lack of
• bubbling under the surface for yourself for a long time which means it must have existed before you started working on it
• a lot of the problems that we see that might have been around for a long time are quite easy to
• with my eyes shut uh no because most of the time you're asking a bloody good job and the same is true of intuition
• to university in order to learn from people who were perhaps three times their age had thought and read an
• but the water in it is changing all the time and it's moving on so this process is what we have as a
• that the sorcerer comes back in the nick of time and it says the thing that the sort of the
• learn and memorize and think consciously about many many things but by the time you're a skillful physician or surgeon a
• mapped is hundreds of thousands of times infinitely more complex than the map
• use like getting a twig to build a nest and all that but at the same time watch out for everything else that's
• there's a little way to go i've been saying for a long time two emotions that i think are missing
• as well so there is ore and dread that both come up at the same time and yeah this

• multiple languages and my mother was a pianist and so i spent a lot of time uh playing under the piano and that was my
• in you know i'm explaining to the mama what how i spend my time and you know she she
• realized if i could not explain to my mom how i was spending my time i didn't want to be doing that thing and so
• work which eventually in time turns into
• thing to presence to us but a lot of the time we think of the visual world and i think it does actually seem to be
• semi-permeable membrane in which things are coming and going all the time it hardly really exists it's a flow
• it well it isn't actually it's far too little time for them to be genetic changes what happens is there are what
• think it's it's an enormously invaluable resource and i draw on it all the time it's just that it can't actually deal
• this is really extraordinary and all the time i hear you know plans about developing some ghastly
• because sound is our alarm sense um every time something like that happens you know people complain oh i
• these terribly frightened lives all the time with alarms going off and warnings and so on that we'll be happier and more
• necessary but do we have to listen every time a boarding pass is scanned we hear babies
• um filter out the music uh do i have to be you know do i have to hear every time uh the lady next to me gets a a a a

• coming late but i have a habit of being on time we have been running
• heard me many of you have heard me many many times but ian visit is very very special so i said to ian that you take
• special so i said to ian that you take as much time as you need to take um and then i can speak some other times i live
• as much time as you need to take um and then i can speak some other times i live in devon i'm associated with dartington
• in devon i'm associated with dartington so i don't have to take too much time but we'll have a little conversation and
• why i believe the things i believe because there isn't time so i'm just going to give you the
• manipulate the world to your benefit but at the same time you must be keeping a completely different kind of attention
• can experimentally knock out one hemisphere at a time and with the left hemisphere quieted or suppressed the
• they had patients with one hemisphere at a time knocked out and they asked them to comment on a
• don't need to know which bits of my brain are working at any time it doesn't add anything
• our lives interestingly one loses depth in time as well when the right hemisphere is
• but this is the way life is becoming it's wasteful of time and energy it's enormously wasteful of money and
• everything dark has a good side and it's just that we don't see it at the time so he has this move that we seem
• always been and remain much higher for men roughly three times those for women the rate of increase in

• between five and eight times as many students between five and eight times as many students that met a common cutoff
• arrive back at the place we started from and know it for the first time but actually we don't do that what we do is
• rationalist know-how and yet at the same time we find ourselves confronted with emptiness
• to reject at certain times what reason can tell us i'm a great fan of reason i use
• though we're so much cleverer and wiser than people who lived at other times in other places instead it's about
• it shows us how things have shifted how they've become distorted over time yeah so that's absolutely beautiful
• all about brains and neurology all the time but we've got into a habit of thinking that that is more true than
• very brief because we have only short time and many other people want to ask questions
• a whole other question um and have you got time i mean no no maybe not i mean the fact is that
• beauty doesn't come quickly it takes time it matures and antique becomes beautiful chair when it's old it takes
• beautiful chair when it's old it takes time i'm getting old 85 years old and people think that i'm very beautiful
