Wonderful to watch and listen too but I'm I the only one for whom the message rang hollow - it seems to me that we are retreating into a less and less rational world sometimes - about the only conspiracy theory I haven't heard is why are there so many conspiracy theorys - every pseduo science and crackpot idea has an avide fanbase and dedicated website - seems to be the human condition to want 'magic' even if it means embracing irrationality.

The dual fovea in the bird's eye - unlike our eyes with their single focal point - is certainly involved in dividing focus between the near and the peripheral, and suggests (but certainly doesn't prove) that birds may process this experience differently...
I both agree and disagree.

This started off scientific... but suddenly turned into philosophy... Well i guess it's not like the guy is a scientist, he's just a psychiatrist.

BECAUSE THE LEFT HEMISPHERE IS A DAMAGED VERSION OF THE RIGHT HEMISPHERE..
Look into Tony Wrights book Left In The Dark. The Evidence is absolutely immense. The answer is staring McGilchrist in the face but his left hemisphere is too paranoid to admit it
Scuse me. How can the left hemisphere be "damaged version" of the right?
Now if I took a hammer and introduced it with force to your left hemisphere when it was identical to the right one could say that the left is damaged version of the right afterwards.
But our brains are not damaged. They preform the function they have acquired through evolution.
There are no facts here, considering the FACT that mental illness is a MYTH, which is SCIENTIFICALLY UNPROVEN to this day. The idea of mental illness was invented for SOCIAL CONTROL, POPULATION BALANCE, CLASS SEPERATION, and ABSOLUTE ECONOMIC REGULATION. I have PROOF. Follow me, and I will lead you all to the TRUTH that has been covered up by the collaborative efforts of politicians and corporations all across the globe for YEARS.
If you were to produce a series of 50 ten minute lectures in this way, you could teach an entire university course much more deeply than how they are taught now.
@MrPectos That was my immediate thought too, but actually I think people still need time to reflect and digest learning material in order to get it engrained into their minds. This would involve writing and doing excercises/activities based on the material. Keep in mind everyone has a different area of strength in learning. These videos are predominantly good for visual learners IMO.
amazing. the illustrator of this lecture seems to be living in a world, in which no females occur. at least if you take for granted that the detailed and humorous way he is drawing reflects his experience of the world.
But I think this is less because his world contains no females and more because every character in his illustration ultimately is himself, and he is a man.
@candistyx The only problem to that statement is that we live in a man dominated world. A world where every big decisions has been made by men. It is not coloured enough by any other inputs, and i am a man saying that :) I have realized the problem.
Oh, come on! Why didn't you response with your left brain, to make sure that this comes to the point... By the way: On which side vanity is located? The part that makes nearly everybody talk more then there is a need for...
@dreamerberlin vanity is the excessive belief in one's own abilities or attractiveness to others not an excessive amount of "talk". The idea that people talk to much is your opinion.
@maki89able i think it's been shot with a locked camera that moves the frame a few times following the drawing hand while it fills up the whiteboard, then i guess in post they speed-ed up everything and animated some psd files with transparent background for the pop-up balloons etc. programs like fcp and premiere, in example, can do this and more
I am always a bit skeptic when I hear theories on the physiological side of the mind because so much of it is still unknown but this was very interesting and McGilchrist was very well spoken.
For anyone who hasn't already read Iain McGilchrist's book - The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World - then do it! It is easily one of the best books I have ever read.
I would like to know why women are largely absent from this video - I only noticed a small handful of females, and literally no women thinkers were referenced.
Very interesting talk that informed me about many interesting facts I didn't know about. From now on I'll follow work of Mr. McGilchrist.
The visual information is a bit too much, as already pointed out by theRSAorg, and I would like to suggest that also an audio track could perhaps get some cleaning.
Otherwise great work as always, thank you RSA Animate for your work!
Absolutely brilliant, people watching this have to understand that this is not simply composed of pure facts, it includes an interesting perspective towards the two hemispheres as well.
@DistortedV12 really, psychologist don't know shit about people, all bs there made to see basically that's wrong but is right. there theobvious crazy ones with illness, then there brilliant crazy and there made to be wrong, there there's just brilliant and out of the circle and the psychologist doesn't know what to think cause he never seen it in his studies then becomes flustered and makes up BS Ive seen it, all BS
How do I contact the illustrator ? I live in Brasil and we have a special group focusing in Energy. This kind of approach is just what we need. Thanks in advance.
This is an excellent follow-up to the "Changing Education Paradigms" RSA Animate (when you watch the two in succession) -- and my favorite lecture yet. Thank you, RSA and Iain McGilchrist!
RSA should never just write out what the presenter is saying, the illustration should help understand and visualize it (or highlight the important points) only!
I like it better when I get to watch him drawing more instead of the pictures just appearing. Still, I love all these RSA Animates. I also don't have any problem with the ad at the end.
RSAnimate videos are some of favorites, I savor each and everyone. I would like to echo some of the comments that the illustration quality and pacing have deteriorated somewhat. They used to be able to crystallize / summarize complex ideas in witty and easily digestible bites -- always acting in the background to complement / emphasize key points. But this latest video provides as much on screen information as is being heard and the net effect is too much information, too quickly...
@mrghostrider it's a fair comment but I would say it's not that the quality is deteriorating, the animator has to be very clever and creative to achieve that crystallisation, it would be fairly unreasonable to expect someone to crack it every time. But the addition of information that is not in the speech is distracting and led to me having to pause the video only to be no clearer. Still, every time I watch one of these videos I feel educated and enlightened, thank you to everyone involved!
But wait, he started the video saying that it is not true that only one side of the brain does one task, while the other side does another. If all kinds of activity occur in both, then why is there such a striking difference between the right hemisphere and left hemisphere?
The emphasis of Western thought and habit on the left side is clear - the question is what do we do about. How can we make use of the right side to even up the score? -The key characteristics of the right hemisphere come into their own for innovation. In particular, the role of seeing the wider context, understanding implicit meaning, and using metaphor are all fundamental for more creative problem solving. We need that more than ever for social problem solving - see Iconic Exchange website
THAT IS THE MOST PRICELESS VIDEO ON YT. but TBH it was both plesent and bothersome for me, it was pleasant because i agree witheverything it was bothersome because i feel it stole every idea from my (currently nonexistant book) "the yin and yang of the human brain". i really wouldnt expect to hear this from anyone other than David Ike, so that was a surprise. this single video can explain why am i so fucking different than everyone around me. i dont want to live on this planet anymore.
I send my humble Kudos to Iain McGilchrist for raising such a point. His perspective and emphasis regarding our need to acknowledge forms of thinking that aren't monopolized by the "reason/left hemisphere" is one I wholeheartedly agree with. I also suggest, this issue is best studied in conjunction with a gender sociological point of view, as the left/right hemisphere's are also understood as feminine and masculine brains and that the change described is also of a male/masculine biased society
I am a father to four beautiful children from two mothers.If I am already dead to Yehowah (God)Then who can rightfully teach my children the Law and Love of Him?I am a sinner not worthy to be included in the Book of Life but only by His Grace.May Yehowah(God) shed His Grace on thee!
From what I have read so far concerning the Bible and Salvation I am already dead to Yehowah(God)for I have broken His Law,not once(which is all it takes to be damned to hell)but many times.So no matter how many times I pray confess my sins and repent, no matter the measure of my faith or works I am sentenced to death!Yet by the Grace of Yehowah(God)and His Grace alone can I be pardoned... for I read that His Grace over powers His Law.
when manifesting life now, we are asking and receiving answers from the universe at a delayed time of either days or seconds . But as this new energy and mind quantifies with universe, we can have instant communication and manifestation with universe.
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
in brief right hemisphere is focus more on living creatures(humans).. left hemisphere on static lifeless items (chair) and both are interconnecte, so when you use one side ur using the other at the same time just with less emphasis....
SO YES ITS TRUE RIGHT SIDE ITS SENTIMENTAL < LEFT SIDE IS RATIONAL...duhh !
Definitely too much information two quickly. I don't even know why but I don't like when the hand isn't drawing... It's like a film playing. Still, an interesting talk and I liked many of the ideas although I'll have to see it several times to read all the extra information.
I've heard that the functionnality of the left handed writers' hemispheres are inverted. The right focus on the details and the left and the left ....
@hakikish whether the corpus callosum is excitatory or inhibitory is a hot debate, highly likely that it does both. But the most convincing evidence is that the neurotransmitter in the corpus callosum is glutamte, which is excitatory.
Just Brilliant! Both the talk and the animation. Can't get enough of this stuff. I also watched the video of the entire talk he gave. Worth checking out!
Some of these things which he is talking about i have been talking to my friends to "seem" intelligent, without any reading or anything i understood it, i think alot. jz even though i am depressed due to my shortcomings in school at the moment, no i am not what you would call a narrow-minded redneck or whatever, i had or have an addiction to doing things i like, like playing video games, and school scares me off because the people that are supposed to aren't making it interesting, but i will. :)
This was fantastic. I totally understand what he means because I'm very left handed (and left footed as well) and feel this world has been too rational for me.
The drawings have fallen behind in quality. Earlier RSA's featured simple and down to the point animations without useless clutter but while still adding personality to the talk to keep it interesting.
Now it's distracting and many times there will be lots of information in the drawing presented at the same time different things are being said by the lecturer, instead of complimenting the talk, the animations are fighting for attention. I had to pause and go back a few times to actually read it
@ToasterToast I like how cluttered it is for the same reasons your knocking it for. It means your using your head more, I don't really see what the problem is. Its a lecture first, entertainment second - its the equivalent of raising your hand in class for clarification.
I watch allot of videos about the ancestors of mankind because I am curious as to how they were so intelligent before any major technology. I believe they understood how to increase their intelligence or they taught themselves in a different way that increased reason and understanding, and I do not now where mankind lost that form of teaching or information.
oh my goodness, that drawing of a man's face at 1:57 is amazing.

In this video the visual content doesn't follow the auditory, therefore separating your focus in multiple directions.

I am a father to four beautiful children from two mothers.If I am already dead to Yehowah (God)Then who can rightfully teach my children the Law and Love of Him?I am a sinner not worthy to be included in the Book of Life but only by His Grace.May Yehowah(God) shed His Grace on thee!

From what I have read so far concerning the Bible and Salvation I am already dead to Yehowah(God)for I have broken His Law,not once(which is all it takes to be damned to hell)but many times.So no matter how many times I pray confess my sins and repent, no matter the measure of my faith or works I am sentenced to death!Yet by the Grace of Yehowah(God)and His Grace alone can I be pardoned... for I read that His Grace over powers His Law.

when manifesting life now, we are asking and receiving answers from the universe at a delayed time of either days or seconds . But as this new energy and mind quantifies with universe, we can have instant communication and manifestation with universe.

in brief right hemisphere is focus more on living creatures(humans).. left hemisphere on static lifeless items (chair) and both are interconnecte, so when you use one side ur using the other at the same time just with less emphasis....
SO YES ITS TRUE RIGHT SIDE ITS SENTIMENTAL < LEFT SIDE IS RATIONAL...duhh !

Definitely too much information two quickly. I don't even know why but I don't like when the hand isn't drawing... It's like a film playing. Still, an interesting talk and I liked many of the ideas although I'll have to see it several times to read all the extra information.

I've heard that the functionnality of the left handed writers' hemispheres are inverted. The right focus on the details and the left and the left ....
Is it right ?

"The main function of the corpus callosum is to inhibit the other hemisphere." NOT
Google your shit before making a video. Evidence supports both inhibitory and excitatory function of this part of the brain.

@hakikish whether the corpus callosum is excitatory or inhibitory is a hot debate, highly likely that it does both. But the most convincing evidence is that the neurotransmitter in the corpus callosum is glutamte, which is excitatory.

in response to CrazyCanuckStallion, that there is a "pause" button to read the captions on the video. Real easy left side and right side thought.

Some of these things which he is talking about i have been talking to my friends to "seem" intelligent, without any reading or anything i understood it, i think alot. jz even though i am depressed due to my shortcomings in school at the moment, no i am not what you would call a narrow-minded redneck or whatever, i had or have an addiction to doing things i like, like playing video games, and school scares me off because the people that are supposed to aren't making it interesting, but i will. :)

The drawings have fallen behind in quality. Earlier RSA's featured simple and down to the point animations without useless clutter but while still adding personality to the talk to keep it interesting.
Now it's distracting and many times there will be lots of information in the drawing presented at the same time different things are being said by the lecturer, instead of complimenting the talk, the animations are fighting for attention. I had to pause and go back a few times to actually read it

@ToasterToast it seems that you are honouring the servant, when you should be remembering the gift, my friend.
jettp 3 months ago
@ToasterToast I like how cluttered it is for the same reasons your knocking it for. It means your using your head more, I don't really see what the problem is. Its a lecture first, entertainment second - its the equivalent of raising your hand in class for clarification.

I watch allot of videos about the ancestors of mankind because I am curious as to how they were so intelligent before any major technology. I believe they understood how to increase their intelligence or they taught themselves in a different way that increased reason and understanding, and I do not now where mankind lost that form of teaching or information.
