IAIN MCGILCHRIST: Our “wretchedness” is a left-brain issue

Wild with Sarah Wilson

NOTE

Expand Perspectives to Solve Problems

Narrow vision limits understanding of problems, causing individuals to mistakenly believe more of the same actions will yield different results. This mindset stifles innovation and adaptation, even in the face of clear evidence of destructiveness. Encountering new evidence often reinforces existing beliefs rather than prompting change, demonstrating a need for a fundamental shift in thinking. The importance of relations is emphasized, arguing that understanding the connections between elements is crucial and precedes the identification of individual elements. A radical approach to relations offers a deeper understanding of the world, suggesting that to effectively address issues, one must first alter their perspective rather than simply increase efforts using the same methods.
