In this Gurometer edition, Matt and Chris feed Iain McGilchrist into the sacred instrument to see where exactly refined country-parish-minister vibes land when combined with galaxy-brained hemispheres, civilisational decline narratives, decorative scholarship, and the other features of guruosity.

So disappointing to see you two revert to left brained thinking, but that’s how the cookie crumbles.

2.5 is not middle of the road on a scale from 1 to 5 🤨

Stay punk, lads. I haven't listened yet because I'm tired. But I think the McGilchrist stans in your secondary income stream will be running scared just based on the timestamp titles. The preceding words are intended ironically. So that's definitely ok on my part.

My, that erudite yet slightly rural voice does so much heavy lifting. Rather than pontificating about the brain we’d be better off if he read the audiobooks of Anthony Trollope novels or the like.

Matt’s definitions are inspiring. From now on, I am using the words of a word being defined to define it. A definition is when you define a word.
