Does the world have brain damage? Neuroscientist Prof. Shane O'Mara discussions right brain problems and is a lot more optimistic than Chris & Jim

Do we have a right brain problem? Author and journalist Matthew Syed said so in a recent fascinating Sunday Times column.


Professor of Neuroscience at Trinity College Dublin, Shane O'Mara, says no.


So why is our political discourse, pretty much everywhere, so polarised, context & nuance free, and just so nasty?


Why, when we know, with as much certainty as we can muster, that the world is a very uncertain place, is everyone so certain?


Shane is tempted to say that the world was ever thus and Chris & Jim should stay off Twitter.


Point taken, but the authoritarian, conspiracy loving nut jobs do seem to have the upper hand - or at least are making more noise.


In this podcast, AI is confused with AIB. That is a step too far.
