Left brain fantasies and postmodernism

The greatest scientific discoveries resulted from imagining first then testing the hypotheses for validity while a left-brain view of the world demands certainty. Phrases like, “the science is settled”, “climate change deniers”, and “conspiracy theories” are used to negate the officially sanctioned narrative. Language itself must be made subordinate to this Postmodern left-brain mechanistic view of the world. A mechanistic view outdated 107 years ago when Einstein developed his Theory of Relativity. Out of necessity the Postmodern left ideology demands certainty. They exist in a world which cannot abide contradiction. A world dedicated to the scientism I spoke about in my previous podcast which has replaced actual science. They exist in a world intolerant of the apparent inconsistencies we know to be inherent to the study of Quantum Physics.

But before I wade into these waters deeper than a man of my limited expertise in fields of human psychology, quantum physics, and philosophy ought to, allow me to point you toward Dr. Iain McGilchrist. His explanation of why our current cultural zeitgeist has become so soul crushing and toxic has been nothing short of revelatory for me. McGilchrist has written what I consider to be the most significant work of its kind, “The Matter with Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions and the Unmaking of the World” https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58955313-the-matter-with-things published on 9th November 2021. Dr. McGilchrist stated, "I believe that our vision has been hijacked by a brain system that evolved merely in order to help us manipulate the world, not to understand it...', which is why I am convinced that the phenomenon he describes in “The Matter with Things” has become the defining feature of the Postmodern Academy and of our current political landscape. I invite you to watch this three-part series featuring Dr. McGilchrist with world renown comic writer and actor John Cleese of Monty Python fame at the following links. Enjoy them as I did and let us all reawaken ourselves to a fuller a richer world where there is real diversity of thought and open inquiry so that we may rid ourselves of this dreadful mechanistic view of existence.
