Stories (and even individual parts of stories) have a resonant, alchemical relationship with the way
we experience life

>there are people that still believe in the right left hemisphere dichotomy

>>8086225
Well, it's not as straightforward as right=creative, left=logical, but both sides serve different functions.

Your Storytelling Brain

Cognitive Neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga ponders

Michael S. Gazzaniga is a professor of psychology at the University of California

...he has made important advances in our understanding of functional lateralization in the brain and how the cerebral hemispheres communicate with one another

They can serve different functions, it's complicated. For example Kim "Rain Man" Peek probs had quite a bit duplicated between the two hemispheres but also compensated for a gimped corpus callosum with better sub cortical pathways (that's almost anything that isn't your corpus callosum or hypothalamus that connects the two hemisoheres). In some ways he was like a split brain patient (like being able to process two separate inputs from his eyes at the same time) and in other ways his brain was just one big ol hemisphere (the compensation for missing a corpus callosum)

One thing they've been doing recently with stroke patients that have language centres hit is to hit the opposite side of the brain with trans cranial magnetic stimulation to inhibit it. So typically if you have a stroke that hits the left hemisphere of the brain you can't process language, and because of plasticity your right side reorganises itself to process all language. By inhibiting the right side that stops this process and the body makes more of an effort to sort the left side out.

Anyway, whenever I see serious shit that goes on a out one side of the brain is artistic and the other side is autistic, or there being male and female brains, I always think of that scene in the Waterboy where he reckons crocodiles are unctuous because they don't have a toothbrush. It's bullshit they learnt at their mother's knee and mistake for incredible insight.

It's more like contextualized versus decontextualized. Left side sees things as they are, without meaning. It processes how we use tools, and manipulate the world around us. It's why the language is mostly on the left side. Right side is where things are put into context and have implicit meaning. It's why when you see people take damage to the right hemisphere, they have a harder time understanding jokes, metaphors, reading maps, and so on.

liberals are emotional and illogical. feels over reals. conservatives are calm and logical.

Princeton University psychologist Julian Jaynes (1920–1997) put forth a bold new theory of the origin of consciousness and a previous mentality known as the bicameral mind

i'm both creative and playful. hell, i just finished my screen play about two college-aged males inciting a liberal riot for berating a cocaine-addicted gay rapist. melissa harris-perry, a puppet, calls them out for it.

Would love a source on that

There's others out there but I can't be bothered to look more up.

There is a point where this whole thing may be faulty tho: stimulation can look like or lead to inhibition and vice versa. So it would seem in some processes one side of the brain inhibits the other, and so in inhibiting the inhibitor you cause the other side to be stimulated and you get behaviours that can look like stimulation. Or if a what would you call it, a neural circuit? They can become fatigued if stimulated repeatedly. You see that sometimes with epilepsy case studies. Seems to have therapeutic use tho
