[MD] Iain McGilchrist

[Ian Glendinning]

Hi David, as you know I'm a big fan of McGilchrist - blogged many
references - those couple of sentences of yours ...

"MOQers can very much read this as a book about how the different
halves of the brain have adapted to deal with SQ in the one half and
DQ in the other. And how the left and SQ biased has come to dominate
our thinking and society and led to a very split and dualistic form of
thinking."

... form a very good summary.
