Has anyone read The Matter With Things? I’ve been reading it for ~3 weeks and just about to hit the 20% mark / finish Part I.

Pitch is the world has become too left-brained (reductive/analytical) --> loss of meaning, connection, wonder. Has happened before and has not been good for humanity when it has. Good interview with the author: https://unherd.com/2023/05/left-brain-thinking-will-destroy-civilisation/

Hmmm, I like it, it aligns to a common thread I've been pulling about balancing heart and brain. I met a buddhist monk in mongolia whose advice for westerners boiled down to "brain is useful, heart is important". I gave a talk at a tech conference last year urging engineers to lean into heart, we already have brain.
