This is amazing, wildly interesting, surprisingly on my wavelength, so spiritual yet not far-fetched, so scientific yet not boringly statistical. I love this guy, at first. But, my training makes me a skeptic. He uses his hands so much. Is he distracting us from something else? Why are his eyes shaded?
I will watch this more than once until I "own" it, though.
Did anyone notice the background buzzing sounds that get louder during some segments?

I wonder how he assigns global/sequential cognition or relates field (in)dependence specifically to gender (forest/trees bit) where there's great variation within both gender groups. I have a somewhat different take on that and a few other areas he covered (e.g., Multiple Intelligences), but it's great that these points are being brought up and explored. Maybe our diversions are because I'm not Buddhist and don't have that frame of application; nonetheless, it's valuable discourse for all.
