    ------------------------------
    Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.
    The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law.
    By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

    My dad was left-handed and always had a tough time in a right-handed world. When I discovered that left-handed people use the right side of their brain and vice versa I came up with this humor to ease their lot in life. "People who are left-handed use the right side of their brain and people who are right-handed use what's left." Dad laughed and that was all that mattered.

    I am so happy to find this interview. I joined Hillsdale College because I wanted to study some of the things they teach. I completed the C.S.Lewis on Christianity course and the one on Children's Classical Literature and enjoyed both thoroughly. I have stopped for a short time as I consider the next one I feel drawn to study but I know who Larry is! And Iain has to be my favorite speaker at this time (2024). I am going to enjoy this. And now, to listen.....:)

    Could diet influence brain hemisphere dynamics, potentially easing symptoms of mental health conditions? I'm curious whether adopting a ketogenic or carnivore diet might mitigate symptoms of depression or schizophrenia, considering the theory that an overactive left brain is linked to schizophrenia. How does diet impact this dynamic?

    Even though I can quote movie lines after the first viewing some movies I’ll watch again and again.
    I think I could do McGilchrist’s interviews in his place.
    Come to think about it I could probably do the same with Michael Levin.
    Thankfully no one can copy me( well maybe my brother ) .
    I have resolved to give up no more information until the time is right and only then by direct means.
    The brain is a Mandelbrot set complex morphology!
    Understand why it is so!

    To me it seems a paradox, the left brain is like a bank as we create, invent and innovate the advancement gets deposited mapped into the left brain. The masses withdraw, the imaginative, innovative enjoy and express and contribute for a moment. Seems a hope would be to inspire amplify and perpetuate the right brains attributes.
