Anyone on a quest for truth must at some point square up to the fact that this quest is mediated by a three pound, two-hemisphere organ called the brain. In this episode, Ryan and medical doctor Paul Long discuss the work of British polymath Iain McGilchrist, whose findings about the right hemisphere’s capacity for "belief” (along with its knack for music, story, metaphor, context, and emotions) suggest that our brain’s strongest connection to reality is being perilously ignored in our time.
