  Daniel Schmachtenberger would be an amazing addition to your network of lecturers. He is the most impressive  generalist and systems thinker I have ever seen. From technology, psychology, ancient wisdom, game theory, geo-politics, environment, enegry... He goes so wide, and also so deep. Would be a pleasure to hear him speak, and to have the minds of Ralston be exposed to his style of thinking. One of a kind person.

  Nice plug for Bach at the end. His cello suites are my favorite pieces of music

  Great guest; probably it would be OK with just a 20-30 second intro.

  Thank you for so inspiring conversation! Indeed, university must be one of the fundamental pillars of the entire society. Just like in Medieval world three centers of powers emerged: res rex (secular power), res sancta (spiritual power) and res studio (power of knowledge), the modern world need to restore the importance and value both spiritual and intellectual life.

  I for one am very happy about some forms of technology, otherwise I would not have access to this conversation or most likely any of McGilchrist’s work.

  Respectful connection of both right and left thinkers might have a positive influence &nbsp;together 🎉 &nbsp;but civilization follows the path of more money.
