HEY, MAN, ARE YOU USING ONLY HALF YOUR BRAIN?


You're pretty hip. We all know that.

You can throw an I CHING hexagram and intuit its meaning. You
know all about Hedonic Engineering and staying high. You've seen
through all the social games.

When it comes to the neurosomatic circuit of the brain, and
body wisdom, you're a champ. And everybody knows it.


But what about those mysterious left-hemisphere brain
functions? Wouldn't you like to learn the secrets of the West,
previously known only to the adepts at the esoteric Princeton
Institute for Advanced Studies? Stranges arts like the Equation,
which predicts things before they happen, or the Syllogism, which
allows you to test an argument for internal validity? Or
wouldn't you like to know how the mysterious Stereo works, or
what keeps planes from falling out of the sky?

Imagine trying to live with one eye, or one lung, or one
testicle.

Isn't it equally a handicap to use only half your brain?

Looking forward to hearing more about Bluebeard, although, he sure wasn't a very nice person.

I will comment on both of them here, ok? I seem to remember something like this from one of my psych classes and it was as interesting then as it is now. It makes me think and react in a very odd way, to try to define self. I honestly don't think I can, I just am .. with all the componants that create anything .. thats what I came up with. and yes .. they are funny thoughts thanks for sharing them .. *smile*
