- Dr Iain McGilchrist is a former literature scholar at Oxford University before an interest in the mind and body led him to studying medicine, which paved the way for him to become a consultant Psychiatrist.
Dr McGilChrist is an associate of Green Templteton College in Oxford, a fellow of the royal college of Psychiatrists, a fellow of the royal society of arts and Iain has also conducted neuroimaging at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
Iain is the author of the Master and his Emissary, a book that I was recommended by Robert Greene. Recently Iain has his latest book; ‘’The matter with things’’, which took him 12 years to write and his almost 600,000 words. The equivalent to 6 PhD Thesis’.
In this short clip, Dr McGilchrist reacts to the live forever movement.

Not being able to die as a person - this is the drama of the „Flying Dutchman“, who in desperation has to wait for his death until the world itself will end.
But the don't die movement isn't about becoming immortal (not being able to die from suicide, murder or car crash) it's about extending the life as much as possible while also still keeping healthy functions (being able to think, being able to move your body). The birth rates are plummeting and life expectancy is extending. There isn't anything evil with wanting to live to for example 150 and being able to do sport,hiking etc towards your 120 (if it is possible). Actually it can bring a lot of good to the world. Humans might be able to dedicate longer periods of their lifes towards science, acquire more knowledge to share with other humans etc... Personally my problem with this is if this will be available only to the elites which it probably will. But I dont think wanting to live long even towards 300 (sci-fi shit) is bad. There is a lot of other organisms which live crazy ages.
I love this man.
Us too!
Eternal plays with different characters
"In death the many become one; in life the one becomes many.” -Rabindranath Tagore
Death is the opposite of birth. Life is our true nature.
Life may be limited but the amount of human hubris is unlimited…
Brilliant remark on getting tired of oneself!
Personally I agree, though I would love to have some more time than just 80-90 years. Maybe not thousands of years extra, but to have a bit more freedom to choose my own biological end.
You hit nail on head me duck
I think this one's really about *younger folks flatting together along with other younger folks* away from their families.
Eternal Life is FREE. Embrace Christ.
Poetic notions. I have yet to see someone who follows through with them when in the process of dying.
I have seen people die peacefully and also not peacefully. The poetry is in the peacefulness. What else do you expect?
@@thebaryonacousticoscillati5679 What peaceful deaths did you witness? How closely did you follow the whole process?
In my experience everyone starts clinging to life and breaking apart, even the people who claimed to yearn for death. They try to hide that in front of occasional visitors though.
Either way, I do not think that we have a right to dismiss life prolonging procedures wholesale on the basis of some poetic and abstract philosophy. If you wanted a truly 'natural lifespawn' you'd forego all medical procedures and vaccinations and probably die of i.e. sepsis at age 12. The line you are drawing is arbitrary.
Thats the problem with the religions of Catholics protestants jews and Islamics
They didn't see any reason to live or meaning they see sin every where unless of course if everyone, the whole world bows to there belief, book, prophet savior or God
Nature failed!
