Good Advice

Really glad I decided to reread Iain McGilchrist's The Master and his Emissary. There's something illuminating on every page. One apparently simple idea struck me hard: How we see the world alters not just others, but who we are. We need to be careful what we spend our time attending to, and in what way. On the surface this might look like the cliched notion: Garbage in; garbage out - and I think there is a faint echo of that idea. But McGilchrist is concerned with something deeper than putting up a warning sign relating to our encounters with less-than-healthy materials. His reminder of how vulnerable we are in constructing our realities is salutary.
