Are We Possessed By One Side of the Brain? – The Sickness of the Modern Age

Each month we upload a new video to our website for AOI members. In our most recent membership video, we examine the psychiatrist and neuroscience researcher Iain McGilchrist’s hypothesis that we have become dangerously enslaved by the left hemisphere of our brain, and that this can account for much of the sickness of modern society.

If you would like to access this video and 88 others exclusive to members, become an AOI Supporting Member here – academyofideas.com/members/

AOI members are critical to the continuation of this channel! Thank you for your support.

YouTube age-restricted our recent video on How Smartphones and Social Media Promote a Schizophrenic-Like Condition. This greatly limits the views the video will receive going forward, and essentially demonetizes it, so we have decided to delete it from YouTube. It is still available for free on our website and on alternative platforms. If you want to watch it on YouTube we will leave it up for a few more days.

They may produce much suffering, but according to Jung, they also provide us with crucial information concerning our current way of life and how to improve it. In our latest video we explore his ideas.
