SIR, ARE YOU USING ONLY HALF YOUR BRAIN?

You’re pretty smart. We all know that.

You know all about partial differential equations, computer
programming, cost analysis, flow charts and vectors. If it can
be put into an equation, expressed in human language, or recorded
on a graph, you can handle it.

When it comes to the semantic circuit of the brain and precise
manipulations of symbol systems, you’re a champ. Any everybody
knows it.

But what about those mysterious right-hemisphere brain
functions? Intuition? Synergetic apprehension of whole systems?
Esthetics and ESP?

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?

“Specialization is for insects.”
— Robert A. Heinlein

“I once knew a man who was an ear, a magnificent ear, the
greatest ear in Europe. But that was all he was:an ear.”
— Nietzsche on Wagner

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?
