Me on The Embodiment Podcast getting into, amongst other things, meta-ethical trouble.

Tales From Both Sides of the Brain - by Michael S. Gazzaniga (I haven’t read this, but it’s a well reviewed book on split-brain experiments by someone who has actually done them, so KNOWLEDGE)

The Master and His Emissary - by Iain McGilchrist (which I haven’t finished, but what I’ve read is very good, and he does discuss split-brain experiments)

The Artist’s Way - Julia Cameron (which I’ve read several times and highly recommend)

One of several studies on efficacy of LLMs for therapy

The poetry study

The cover this week is a detail of this drawing which I’m quite pleased with so, for your edification, here’s the whole thing.
