"ways of conceiving human relationships based on little more than utility, control and competition, came to supplant those based on felt connection and cultural continuity"
Ian McGilchrist
"how mistaken, and destructive, the model of the disconnected, discontinuous, disengaged self is. Recent neuroscientific research into the ‘social brain’, together with exciting developments in modern attachment theory, developmental psychology, and interpersonal neurobiology, are significantly revising, and upgrading, this rather quaint, old-fashioned view of the isolated, ‘rational’ individual – and also revealing a far richer and more sophisticated understanding of human development and identity, through increased knowledge of ‘right hemisphere’ intersubjectivity, unconscious processes, group behaviour, the role of empathy and mentalisation in brain development, and the significance of context and socialisation in emotional and cognitive development."

"No human could survive or thrive without touch, affection, nurturing, attention, compassion, validation, or empathy – yet the need for these acts of care has been subsumed into necessary invisibility by a system that depends on depriving us of the means to tend to our own lives. (...) (...) acts of care, when they can’t be commodified, are often entirely disappearing."
