Misunderstanding Autism & Schizophrenia Brilliant talk... BUT, an error - at least one, and even the most brilliant of us make them: One of my best friends, and also, one of my closest family members, are both labelled as schizophrenic. Both have vastly more right brain traits than 98% of the public. And my daughter, now 20, has autism and is non-verbal, though she proved she was genius level in intellect by 18 months old, and in both right and left brain intelligence; then, after severe emotional trauma, she stopped talking, suddenly became temporarily severely depressed and withdrawn, stopped talking completely, in fact, and started having seizures. She proved to me she is in the top fraction of 1% in terms of both left and right brain intelligence. She simply experienced far too much for her ultra-sensitive and ultra-intelligent, and empathic, nature to be able to handle. For her, autism and epilepsy resulted; for the first two i mentioned, it was schizophrenia. But all three shatter your assumptions as to the nature of autism and schizophrenia, both.

Thank you for making this available. Great minds!

I'm reminded of the joke, "Can I drop my body off at the gym and pick it up again in a few months?"

Might the minimalistic music be an impediment to choice ,a gratuitous gesture?

Well said, HPitt and Mankoo - wonderful vid. More of the same. Got this from twitter X

Catholics really have a thing for mary, it's kind of weird.

good stuff!

Thank goodness for the European Conservative and in particular Mr Pitt and these dialogues. His guests are always interesting and knowledgeable and I find I learn much from what is on offer. I wish those who have contrary views through lack of knowledge might be compelled to listen but I suppose the notion is rather fantastic and unlikely to be legal. Pity. Thank you for mentioning where the interview took place. I was mildly considering which of you lived there but then I read ... The point toward the end re history and the first person plural is important, in my mind even vital. We are losing it for sure and in its place multiculturalism, ethnic division, mistrust and a broken society.

Interesting example here of a fake Zionist conservative organization appropriating the language of nationalists, in this case our use of "anti-white blood libel," to spread a watered down milquetoast message which will keep our people spinning on a hamster wheel until we no longer exist. Many, many, many such cases.

The reason Europeans are attacked on these grounds while other people are not is twofold. One, we abolished the practice for moral reasons, which makes us susceptible to moral blackmail. Two, the Jewish presence in Europe led to them leading movements, both intellectual and political, to undermine European confidence in their national/racial identity, which they viewed as an obstacle to their power as outsiders. Anything that doesn't deal with problem number 2 isn't going to solve anything.

Harrison puts a spin on the truth to construct a classic straw man argument- "...The age of European empires was enabled a a racist culture..." the converse is true European racist culture was created to justify its imperialism. How else could good "christians" elites have slept peacefully at night after enabling the slaughtering, enslaving, and exploiting of indigenous peoples in every other continent for centuries.

Humza Yousaf's speech in the Scottish Parliament attacking 'white' people (i.e. Scottish People) all the while over 95% of Scotland being 'white' was one of the most racist things I've ever heard.

Eric Kaufmann, always wortth listening to. Great work Harrison Pitt.

Western, Educated, Imperialist, Rational, Democratic.?

Imperial prestige.

I can make a case for US reparations, my 4th great-grandfather was middling farmer from South Carolina. He was the direct descendant of the 2nd Lord Cathcart of Scotland. He had a white family, and a Black slave family with his slave, my 4th great-grandmother, and bequeathed to them 160 acres of farmland which stayed in our Black family for two generations. Owning property saved my family from ever experiencing generational poverty. And the profits from Cathcart's original 160 acres can be traced to my own family inheritance which I used to buy my house. Our slave owner Cathcart gave me my reparations so I don't claim it. I argue for slave reparations for the Black descendants whose slaveowners didn't recompense their slaves- those Black Americans are owed.

This has to be the biggest bull I have ever heard? How can you sit there with a straight face and say Britain didn’t benefit from the slave trade? Complete intellectual dishonest Rafe.

These people scared😱 of their own history😢⌛️✂️💰 reparations

Liberal Society can be multiethnic but it must be a Single Culture.

The socialist attack on liberty begins with replacing Morality with Reason and then replacing Reason with Emotions. With this demoralization, literally, it’s easy to sway the beliefs and actions of its victims.

Slavery was “Abolished” but was perfected through Socialism.

The source of Modern Slavery is in 610. Prior to the Cult of Masters & Slaves, slavery was one nation conquering another, modern slavery uses disinformation then divides a homogeneous society into superior and inferior and continues today with the efficiency of socialism.

This really isn’t a discussion about western civilization but rather the results of the English Political Experience. Even with the development of the Modern Nation State in England the fundamental flaw is embedded through the mechanism of the acts of supremacy.

We are indeed Plagued by the Racist remnants of Colonial Power. It’s called “Progressive” “ Liberal” & “WOKE”. In America we call it the Democratic Party.

New Slogan: “No One is Colonial. “

People have to stop saying that the U.S. Civil War was about freeing the slaves! The facts is, that the Federal Government passed a law that the slave owners could send bounty hunters into the free states to recover escaped slaves. Some of the free states performed Nullification and made it a criminal offense to recapture escaped slaves, some sheriffs actually arrested the bounty hunters that came into their counties! The purpose of the Civil War was for the Federal Government to usurp power and land from the states.

If only someone knew Henry George when talking about liberalism. The memory holing of the Single Tax movement, its role in the birth of modern Socialism, its devastating critique of statist socialism, it's completely unique perspective on societal problems, its relevance today, is an ongoing loss to discussions like these.

Regarding the WEIRD hypothesis... I think it's part of it. However, I would posit that the Germanic Manorial System, the spread of which matches up well with the Hajnal Line, was another major factor. A question I keep asking: WHY, when 'colonialism/imperialism' gets brought up, the imperialism by Islam in Spain and eastern Europe is NEVER thrown out as a counter-argument. The 'bad behavior' of the West could easily be explained as 'post-imperialist trauma', a reaction to the brutalization of Muslim expansion.

Your independence of mind, freed from the shackles of drudge, dogma and voodoo is much appreciated and admired. Thank you both, and the whole team.

Exactly, even Marxists will tell you that South America, compared with antebelum USA, developed economically much less quickly because of its reliance on slavery and peonage until the late 1880s

For real reparations: they identify an actual victim of the offense in question. They specify the abuses and damages. They assign a dollar amount for their compensation. They pay the victim. If the victim is deceased; they identify the closest living legal heir and pay them.

Europe and the UK need to have incensitives for it's indigenous young to have children. Mass immigration from Africa, Asia and the Middle East is only going to have one outcome. Immigration controls need to be taken seriously.

Arguments for Protection of English Culture and People 1. Preservation of Heritage and Identity Argument: England has a rich cultural heritage and history that spans millennia, shaped by its indigenous people. Risk: Globalism threatens to dilute and erode this heritage through mass immigration and cultural homogenization. Action: Implement policies to prioritize the preservation and promotion of English culture, ensuring future generations can connect with their heritage. 2. Impact of Mass Immigration Argument: The influx of millions of immigrants in recent decades has strained infrastructure, housing, and public services. - Risk: Overcrowding and cultural fragmentation undermine social cohesion and erode the sense of community. - Action: Advocate for controlled immigration policies that prioritize the needs and integration of native English citizens to protect societal harmony. 3. Economic and Social Stability - Argument: Mass immigration contributes to wage stagnation, increased competition for jobs, and economic pressure on working-class families. Risk: Without controls, continued immigration can exacerbate inequality and reduce opportunities for native citizens. Action: Support policies that prioritize native English workers in the labor market and ensure fair wages and working conditions. 4. Cultural and Ideological Threats Argument: Globalist ideologies often undermine national identity and traditional values, promoting multiculturalism at the expense of native cultures. Risk: Political correctness and multicultural policies may suppress criticism of foreign ideologies, threatening freedom of expression. Action: Defend freedom of speech and promote critical thinking to safeguard English values and traditions from ideological subversion. 5. Environmental and Urban Impact Argument: Uncontrolled immigration contributes to urban sprawl, environmental degradation, and strain on natural resources. Risk: Loss of green spaces, increased pollution, and pressure on infrastructure threaten the quality of life for English communities. Action: Implement sustainable development policies that balance population growth with environmental conservation to protect England's natural heritage. 6. Security and Sovereignty Argument: Open borders and unchecked immigration pose security risks, including terrorism and organized crime. Risk: Vulnerability to external threats and challenges to national sovereignty undermine stability and safety. Action: Strengthen border controls, enhance national security measures, and uphold the rule of law to protect citizens from external threats. 7. Future Generations Argument: Securing the future of English children and ensuring they inherit a cohesive, prosperous society is paramount. Risk: Failure to address the challenges of globalism may lead to social division, economic hardship, and loss of cultural identity for future generations. Action: Advocate for pro-natalist policies, invest in education, and promote family values to foster a strong and resilient society that values its heritage. Conclusion: By addressing these arguments with thoughtful policies and actions, we can protect English culture and people as a native ethnic group at risk of being washed away by the globalist tide. It is crucial to prioritize the needs and interests of native citizens while embracing diversity in a manner that enhances rather than diminishes England's unique identity and contributions to the world.

We live under a anti White regime now.

Decolonisation in the west is just brown people colonising, demoralising and deconstructing native society

You just pioneered the walking podcast. It's better than just sitting down, I would argue.

Dear Sebastian Morello, only a word and a poem could possibly describe the kind of video this is. The word is BRILLIANT, as in LUMINOUS. The poem is still unwritten but definitely not dormant, in the dark, rich mystery of the depths of my right hemisphere; my left hemisphere tells as much. Blessings to you and Dr. McGilchrist and the Isle of Skye.☯️💚🕉️

Would you please share the names of the piece of music sprinkled throughour your video and especially at the beginning of 1:28:15 and 1:47:47? Thanks so much.

Thank you, also, to you, Dr. McGilchrist for being so gracious as to share these jaw-dropping views of your idyllic grounds.

Thank you for including so much stunning scenery of the Isle of Skye in your intro and throughout your video! 😄

My.studio is the same shade of green as his. Very proud of this! Great interview and beautifully filmed. Thank you.

David Starkey conflates Christianity with the Church (Roman Catholicism and the Church of England. But doesn't consider the role of non-conformists Protestants in shaping the country as far as parliament. Consider what good came during and shortly after the glorious revolution and the brief kingship of William of Orange.

50%of invention to reduce the harm the other 50% are causing.

Woke is just a term the inarticulate use to articulate political feelings.

Great conversation Does anyone know which song is played at 1:58:30? Thank you!

Blair did great damage, however, it was Harley, in 1708, who made it possible. Both changed how Parliament functions and created unbreachable schisms, from their overweening ambition and lust for power.

Christianity was no moral compass of Europe. Quite the contrary. It acted more like a constrictor attempting to crush the life out of its prey. Enveloping the great cultural, scientific and philosophical traditions of Ancient Greece and Rome into its dogmatic coils, strangling them for a thousand years. We must be very cautious about this insidious resurgence of the so called moral guardians and morality judges who would plunge us back into the Dark Ages.
