Thank you! Very much and looking forward about the next post digging more on the three areas (and how we could scape this mass psychosis). If you dont know it yet, there is a book called the alphabet vs the goddess, which also touches on this topic (the thesis is that language, particulrly the alphabet changed human neurological function). And i think you would also enjoy the work of Ivan Illich!

Today, the situation has been pretty much reversed; today, we are moving towards a position where everything is prohibited unless it is specifically allowed." (https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/12/06/boiling-frog-syndrome/) This is exactly the stance of the left hemisphere - control everything and only allow things that are under administration.
Thank you for this fascinating exploration, Winston. I know the left-right brain dichotomy has fallen into disrepute in recent years, but I still think there are valuable lessons to be learned and understand there is scientific validity to aspects of that model.
You may enjoy Chris Niebauer’s “No Self, No Problem,” in which he writes:
“In the same way that the left brain is categorical, the right brain takes a more global approach to what it perceives. Rather than dividing things into categories and making judgments that separate the world, the right brain gives attention to the whole scene and processes the world as a continuum. Whereas the attention of the left brain is focused and narrow, the right brain is broad, vigilant, and attends to the big picture. Whereas the left brain focuses on the local elements, the right brain processes the global form that the elements create. The left brain is sequential, separating time into ‘before that’ or ‘after this,’ while the right brain is focused on the immediacy of the present moment.”
Thank you again for a thought provoking article,very well said.
Nice mate

I second Dr Toby; it is excellent.

Excellent piece Winston. Needs more sharing and traction. Will do my part.
If you expand the analogy out into the Universe it would be a good idea also to keep away from those places where physics lies, black holes.
