The Two Cultures (1959) [pdf]
I get confused who is complaining about who. It reminds me of the two Spiderman meme where each are pointing at each other [1].<p>Most recently, I was watching an interview with Iain McGilchrist. His thesis in &quot;The Master and His Emissary&quot; is that our society has veered too far towards the intellectual. According to his thesis, scientific concerns are dominating our decision making processes. The ills in society are caused by the exclusion of &quot;right brain&quot; or intuitive thinking in modern governance and in the general culture of modern society.<p>I don&#x27;t really have an opinion on who is right or wrong. I can&#x27;t really say if scientists lack sufficient knowledge about humanities subjects or visa versa. But it does feel like each side is pointing the finger at the other side.<p>It doesn&#x27;t even matter what side you support, e.g. if you think McGilchrist is a crank or an apologist for a particular kind of reactionary element that is taking over populist rhetoric. There can be no movement towards a middle-ground when both sides insist that they are the ones being misunderstood and oppressed.<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;knowyourmeme.com&#x2F;memes&#x2F;spider-man-pointing-at-spider-man" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;knowyourmeme.com&#x2F;memes&#x2F;spider-man-pointing-at-spider...</a>
