It makes us act, McGilchrist says, like people who've had a massive right hemisphere stroke. We don't know anything to do but to try to ensure our survival and our victory over the oppressors, whatever we see as the oppressor. And the whole time we're just sort of sitting in a chair somewhere.

I think that they knew what they were dealing with much more intimately. So my friend Boyd Vardy, who was with me tracking that rhinoceros and would never have let me get close enough for it to kill me, but I didn't know that. I've watched him in situations where I was completely freaked out.

And he is completely relaxed because he grew up in the African bush, interacting with all these animals, with weather situations, with fires, with all manner of natural disasters. And there's a kind of... There's a kind of harmony to them all. And you can kind of tune into them, but you can't do it if you're anxious. I once watched three or four horses that were tied to a post get into a fight.

They were all tied to the post. And they started to fight and kick each other. And then they started like screaming. Horses can scream very loudly. And one of them kicked another one and fell down. And then they all got tangled and fell down. There were all these guys, grooms, who were there, whose business it was to watch the horses.

And as they spiked this intense adrenaline surge, I watched all these men get very soft and very gentle and very slow. These tough cowboys, their body language became kind of languorous, and they moved in so gently and so calmly, and they got those horses right.

They knew that if you are actually able to calm your own anxiety, your own fear, you can actually entrain other creatures, including other humans, into a state of calm. That's what I saw Boyd knowing because he grew up surrounded by the environment we evolved to live in. And it does not work in what we call the civilized world.
