Two worlds
Silly notions: there are "left-brained" people and "right-brained" people; and that normal people can be just right-brained or just left-brained for periods of time. To peek into a more sophisticated view of how the left and right hemispheres of our brains work, watch this video of neuroanatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor at TED. Listen to her experience after the left hemisphere of her brain is knocked out by a stroke. Listen to how she saw God when her left side went offline. How she coped and and regained full functionality.
