Intelligence is like a knife - the sharper the better for the job it has to do of slicing and dicing up problems. But, as Iain McGilchrist points out in The Matter With Things, this cleverness is a left brain tool that requires precision use. The left brain divides, and uses. He explains that it is the right brain that should be the Master of the mind - because it carefully holds and wields the knife -holistic, seeing nuance and a bigger picture, kindness, compassion. It is this right brain that is not valued in the West. Lex’s discomfort and question at 0.53 about kindness is brilliant. The professor is discussing knives and Bladesmiths, which we are wielding and allowing others who are even sharper to wield, without control. Control is right brain wisdom which is a much greater part of each human being and how is that valued? If we valued the right holistic brain more, which is our own humanity behind the knives, we might have a peaceful, less rapacious world.
