It is Tim who has the fetish with left/right sided brain.

It's not a fetish, I find the general theory around brain
lateralization to be a handy tool to help understand why some think
and do as they do and therefore why some say and do such strange (to
someone opposite to them) things.

So try reading about it and understanding it.

Like, most of the fanatic Brexiteers don't just think us leaving the
EU could or might be 'a good idea', they are absolutely /
unconditionally convinced that we *will* and they seem to be
completely oblivious of the other ~50% of the electorate who actively
voted against them and the 2/3rs of the electorate who didn't vote
with them?

what sort of ****ing idiot would suggest that those that don't vote one way or the other should be counted as voting.


I was always told the left side had the logic, and right side didn't.

Yes, that's the (very( general idea but it's not as black and white as
that (left brainer g). We are talking 'dominance',


the concept that
whilst both brain hemispheres can and do duplicate each other on many
many things, just like most people have a preferred 'hand' and would
have a lead or dominant eye, they would also have a dominant brain
hemisphere.

That's why if you have a stroke in one side or another you can loose
your speech or motor functions on one side of your body but much of
the loss can be recovered with 'therapy to help the non-dominant
hemisphere better pick up the pieces etc.

Nothing to do with one side being dominant that's not how the brain works.


Tim must therefore be right sided.

It would be 'right brain dominant' and I think you could be right.

yes the left side being logical, yep makes sense lets decide what those that didn't vote actually wanted to vote for if they could be bothered to vote..
Left side is also numerical which is why you are so confused by the result thinking 1/3rd voted to leave 1/3 voted to remain and 1/3rd that didn't vote also wanted to remain that's why they didn't vote.

Yes the RH brained uses imagination rather than logic.
you imagine that all thos ethat didn't voted wanted to remain.



A mate who has looked into this in some depth has a general scale
where 0 would be whatever is considered 'neutral', where both brain
hemispheres are fairly balanced (re the tasks that aren't hemisphere
specific).

He rates anyone right brain dominant as being on a scale of +1 to +5,
where a +1 is a typical woman and a +5 would be a quivering mass of
emotion. A 'left brainer' would be on the scale of -1 to -5 where a -1
is a typical man and a -5, a(n emotional) robot.

no one realy gives a **** what your mate thinks.




He has been with his wife for many years and he has been unhappy for
much of the time.

Maybe his thought processes are screwed and that is the reason beciuase he gets everything wrong.

Most of the time the issues were masked by 'life',
getting engage, getting married, buying a house, having children etc.

Now the kids have left home, from his POV it's as if he's just
co-habiting with someone, he wants more and she seem completely
unaware of his (emotional) needs.

So he married the wrong person or took the wroing route in life is he a remainer too ?
why are yuo taking notice of someone telling yuo how he thinks the world works when he can't even sort his own life out !.



So, he has concluded she (unusually for a woman) is a left brainer and
he (again, unusually for a man) is a right brainer.

There;s no such things.

It's the foundation of myriad personality assessment tests, self-motivation books and team-building exercises €“ and it's all bunk.

Popular culture would have you believe that logical, methodical and analytical people are left-brain dominant, while the creative and artistic types are right-brain dominant. Trouble is, science never really supported this notion.

Now, scientists at the University of Utah have debunked the myth with an analysis of more than 1,000 brains. They found no evidence that people preferentially use their left or right brain. All of the study participants €” and no doubt the scientists €” were using their entire brain equally, throughout the course of the experiment.
