Unpopular Fact #3: Right- & Left-Brain Theory Is Utter Crap
For awhile, it was thought that the left side of the brain was
analytical and the right side was creative and intuitive, and that one
side or the other "dominates." But that's been completely debunked:
Then some people got the ill-conceived idea that if they just ignored left brained things,
let all of that atrophy, they'd be amazingly psychic. But the thing
is, even if right and left brain theory were true (which it isn't) we
need to use our whole brain - even for reading cards. Analysis, logic
and critical thinking skills are as necessary as intuition and
creativity. Often even moreso.
It's not just aspiring card readers who do this. We've come to a point in
time where the willfully ignorant think that facts and logic pose an actual threat. Rejection of science and embracing quack cures in the face of a pandemic, for instance, is hastening our
descent into Dark Ages v2. So is racism - science itself tells us that
race is a construct.
I could go on, but you get the picture. The decision to close off from facts and stay stupid is, well, stupid.
