I left the Usa/N.America over 40+ yrs ago.
I, have, zero-0-null appreciation for the modern am.English-colloquial.
I, haven't had to hear the 'am.English' for same amount of years.
Listening for the 2nd-time now to You-3's discussion.
...Truly an 'Enjoyment'. Intellectual-Discourse is of the highest...'everyday-intellectual-lingo'.
The, youngest-in-your group is, inspiring/encouraging; still Hope for You-there.
Definitely sad that my Children & Grandchildren, have nothing close to your...everyday-talk.
Neither in Swedish nor am.English.
None-the-less, sooo positive & encouraging, 'people/folk' there, are still talkin'...usin'-their brain.
Regards from Sweden
Think about all the "recreational" drugs like alcohol and marijuana and amphetamines and worse. They each alter experience; they each bring pleaure through inbuilt pathways. They each block the emergence of our self identity. As Gurdjieff might say they "buffer" experience.
We are a soul/spirit that is within a body to experience life and to evolve to a renewed connection with the creator, the source of being. Because we each must find a moral compass, our life is a bit like a ball in a pinball machine. Compassion is a measure of the compass. Christ gave the spiritual laws.
He has a lot of podcasts and a well developed website. I've only just begun looking at his work and I'm excited. Lots of gems to discover here.
So many interesting snippets he makes. Overall, he maps out the characteristics of the two hemispheres, and their evolutionary functions for animals, obviously homing in on humans. A lot of his information is shared by implication and suggestion, which I enjoy as the data is not delivered in terms of black and white. It is clear that he laments the left-brain dominance that humans have inevitably become practiced at.
Something I thought Chu (and others, including me) may find interesting, is some allusions regarding language. He makes a salient point that language was only useful beyond small groups. I immediately wondered - did he mean large agricultural groups? And I reckon language is high-end-fuel consumer - such as carbs. But that's just my guess right now. Perhaps before language we were more intuitive. I've always thought of language as a divisive tool/weapon, as it collapses the frequency along explicit lines, and then closes of to remaining "open".
According to Dr Iain McGilchrist, Neanderthals had larger brains. I didn't know this, and I then wondered about the lateralisation of neanderthal brains. But that's just an aside.
A fascinating and exciting body of research this guy has put together.
He also has a couple of books.
There are a few interviews floating around with J.Peterson too.
