Neuroscientist? He's just a psychiatrist. The video also mentions his "revolutionary theory" and that's just ... wrong. He writes a huge book based mostly on pioneering work by Roger Sperry and Michael Gazzaniga and fills it with nice-sounding nonsense that makes the backs of neuroscientists shudder, and that qualifies as a "revolutionary theory"?

Comparisons to Freud and Darwin? When the only original contribution of his was to oversimplify scientific work done by others and wax poetic about how it explains everything? Spoiler: it doesn't.

McGilchrist is nothing more than a pseudoscience influencer.

"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. 'That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3' can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

Is his oversimplification true to the original researchers findings or is he inserting unproven claims?

What makes it pseudoscience and what author’s would you recommend apart from the ones you already mentioned?

Gazzaniga is featured on the documentary, is the documentary any good?

What’s the real story here and what sources do you recommend for an outsider?
