Douglas Grunther on nature, technology, and the awakening of the right hemisphere.
A Buddhist purchases a mandala and hands the clerk a $50 bill. As they wait for their change, the clerk does nothing. The Buddhist asks, “Where is the change?” The clerk replies, “Change comes from within.”
Technological advances often mirror aspects of the human body or mind. AI reflects the hyperfunctioning of our rational, logical, knowledge-driven left hemisphere. Its extraordinary information-processing capabilities are now pushing humanity to focus on the areas AI cannot replicate: the intuitive, empathic, cooperative, and loving capacities of our right hemisphere.
On this week’s Connecting with Coincidence podcast, radio talk show host Douglas Grunther sharpens our understanding of the interplay between humanity, nature, and AI. Nature is not a series of objects to be controlled; it is analogical, much like our right brains. AI, paradoxically, is encouraging us to engage our analogical thinking and feeling, connecting us more deeply to our hearts and the natural world.
