“Without trust we cannot stand. A lesson that some of us learnt during the Global Financial Crisis 16 years ago – and which the rest of the entire western establishment seems to be learning for the first time today.”

If only they were Tim, but most are still in left brain denial are they not? The left brain conditioning has al the elements of a magic trick, notably, misdirection. I am sure that not having a television nor reading “news”papers has done wonders for my right brain😎

All the best

Thought provoking post Tim and McGilchrist's lecture that you shared last week provided a new way of looking at la condition humaine. I appreciated your summary that "fiscal decline collided with an over-stretched army which led in turn to civil wars, a doom spiral of withering resources, and ultimately to defeat by ‘barbarians’". I think that I can hear the hoofbeats of the barbarians coming!

Thanks for sharing the Darwin College lecture. It is impressive that scholarship still exists in universities outside the work fashion du jour.
