00:00 Intro to what's the matter with medicine in a left-brain world of disconnect - toxic world vs.
01:55 The importance of attention as a form of love
03:00 The doctor patient relationship is devalued now which degrades the skills of doctors as well as a distortion of the body as a faulty mechanism in a mechanistic view of the problem
04:40 Nothing in the animate and inanimate world is fixed or mechanistic - complex (living) systems are self-organising.
06:50 A danger to ourselves - medicine and molecular biology can read the notes but not the music!
08:20 Single celled organisms change their structure to solve problems almost instantaneously. Living systems are in dynamic equilibrium / in motion - even emotions - unlike machines
11:30 Nothing about a cell is linear. Multiple inputs create a dynamic equilibrium. Grows by differentiation. Engage in bootstrapping - change themselves within at same time as becoming.
13:30 DNA mapping - left brain approach saw mapping the genome as the answer to world disease but it ignored what it designated non-coding DNA as junk DNA.
15:13 Humanities are the essential context for science - especially clinical science. Reductionist approach doesn't work. Meaning and values in life. Each life a whirlpool in the stream that returns to source when we die.
18:00 when we lose the fear of death you see your life as a gift and appreciate the quality over quantity. E.g. money accumulation. Your body responds to how you live your life. Resonance and relationship to everything else.
19:58 Being human is about attention and intention. Avoiding commodification and mechanistic view of the human experience makes us sick
21:51 What makes us healthy? Shared community experience in which we can trust. Closeness to nature and connection to the spiritual (bigger than us).
23:50 Choose your future - avoid capitalist serfdom.
