A reader wrote me with a very heartwarming comment about the McGilchrist video.

I stopped the tape when he made the observation I quoted.

And I ran straight back over to the AI and said:

Alright Lumo. I’m watching a neuroscientist named Ian McGilchrist. Right out of the gate, he says: “To ‘pay’ attention is to allocate Consciousness.” And my ears of course perk up at that C-word. The phrase makes sense, and particularly in the context of the physics of Kastrup and Faggin and Roger Penrose as detailed in Essentia Foundation videos, and in the compatible testimony of remarkable creatives like David Lynch (all of whom also have performed experiments in accessing the greater Consciousness, using methods like transcendental meditation).
