almost all the metaphors we use when we talk about memes are based on disease they're viral, they're parasitic, they 'infect' minds curious what the convo would look like if we talked more about symbiotic memes. healthy collabs between ideas + people, like Nemo and his anemonepic.twitter.com/EJ8r14Et06

I would LOVE there to be more people who have read both Iain McGilchrist's book The Master and his Emissary, *and* David Deutsch's. Lots of core resonance, but nearly-completely opposition re: "what has happened to culture in the last 500 years?"https://twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/status/1136142122875273216 …
the master and his emissary has been sitting on my shelf for a couple of weeks. It feels very cultured. stem-kid me is intimidated by such a liberal serving of arts. swear I heard it ominously emitting Bach's tocotta and fugue yesterday.

Oh man, I had a heartfelt empathetic laughing with you, picturing that image! I've only read a bit of the book so far. I've listened to McGilchrist's ideas in a couple other formats -- more digestible chunks! http://www.metalearn.net/podcasts/ml41-iain-mcgilchrist …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFs9WO2B8uI …

And I've felt very connected with the way Sarah Peyton (
@empathybrain) weaves Iain McGilchrist's ideas into her work, which is more in the style of neuroscience and NVC and parts work as applied to self-help: https://www.yourresonantself.com/ - 3 more replies

Yeah second half was challenging for me, as an engineering major whose only enjoyable experience of a history course was one on Popular Music & Culture. First half is much more neuroscience & psychology though, and I found it fascinating and exciting. Maybe focus on that?
