I just saw this afternoon that McGilchrist gave an Alfred Korzybski lecture, and I feel like this quote connects with why that makes sense—Korzybski was the one who popularized the phrase "the map is not the territory." https://t.co/RMeFf2wMhy

@paraschopra @sia_steel These pages from Iain McGilchrist's new book about brain hemispheres (note: not bogus pop-psych personality-test models) suggest that much of thought happens pre-verbally & nonlinearly in RH, then gets translated to linear words by LH. https://t.co/iDMFHnhOq7
