The Divided Brain and the Search for Meaning

Brilliant. Amazing how much wisdom can be succinctly compressed into less than an hour's reading.

This video youtu.be/dFs9WO2B8uI gives somewhat of a summary of the essay-book.

The basic proposition is that
* the RHS of the brain is about discerning context and meaning
* the LHS is largely about utility; how to realise (manifest) the meaning
* our culture gives almost all of its authority to the left and very little to the right
* a left-oriented world is about power without purpose
* a right-oriented world is about purpose without power
* we need to give both sides of the brain equal authority
