[MD] Iain McGilchrist

[MarshaV]

Hi David,

Having watched the three lectures, my enthusiasm is renewed and I cannot wait until 'Master and His Emissary'  arrives.  It is a shame that the the audio is so poor at the end of the second, more technical, lecture.  I could hear most of the interesting questions asked, but not McGilchrist's answers.  You made a nice selection, a short lecture with wonderful visuals, a long technical lecture and a lecture directed at the literary crowd.  His use of the word 'flow' alone might point to my enthusiasm.  

Thanks for redirecting my attention to McGilchrist's insightful ideas again.  I do think that MoQ'ers will get it.  Except, perhaps, the one with his head up his own ass.
