Interesting hypothesis Toby. Along similar lines would be the correlation between vaccine rollouts and increasing number of autistic diagnoses over the last few generations. Wonder if there's a connection there in terms of the postmodern inability to understand another person's perspective and similar traits in ASD? Just throwing the idea in the ring.

There are other aspects of the postmodern world that resemble schizophrenia and a left-hemisphere biased take on the world - something I'm looking into at the moment. So it may be partly brain damage, partly a hemispherical bias, and partly an ideological push that's been going on for about 100 years from various schools of thought.
Yes, a number of times, I'm going to be writing summaries of some of his points that I feel are critical for these days. I'm also waiting for the delivery of his next 2 volume book The Matter With Things.
Yes I will, I think it's important material for people and very few will wade through the dense text to glean the gems, and even fewer people will fork out the money and have the time to read his next book.

Yes, I was inspired in part by your earlier post. Those are all great points.
Have you read the book The Master and his Emisary - the divided brain and the making of the western world from Iain McGilchrist? It touches on this!
