Book suggestion: drawing on the right side of the brain
Was anything particularly provocative or interesting to you, in Intro through Chapters 1-2? ((feel free to browse the "cheat notes" for a refresher))
- found the chapter on attention valueable
- Any attention is an attention. Not something directly related to the two hemispheres but brings to attention that caring about attention is important
"The nature of the attention one brings to bear on anything alters what one finds; what we aim to understand changes its nature with the context in which it lies; and we can only ever understand anything as a something." (Iain McGilchrist, The Master and His Emissary)
"To attempt to detach oneself entirely is just to bring a special kind of attention to bear which will have important consequences for what we find." (Iain McGilchrist, The Master and His Emissary)
- Attention is a way in which and not a thing; it is intrincally a relationship
- Any attention is an attention. Not something directly related to the two hemispheres but brings to attention that caring about attention is important
- Why are there two hemispheres at all?
- Maybe because two complete different attentions must also be visible structurally. Why? Don't know.

- john-verveake says insight comes from

Do you have any particular questions that you are wondering about?
- how to understand attention in an ontological frame
- do people with no left hemispheres miss on it?
- I heard there are people with only one side and the other cut off
Do you have any objections or concerns to bring up with Mcgilchrist's book so far?
- has been a bit dry but still captivating
