Relatively few women are left-handed. Thus, a majority are left-brained. Since they aren't into alphabet thinking, hormones must play a greater role than brain hemisphere dominance.
As a left-handed male, I'm less empathetic than most women. I rest my case.
I became aware of handedness in kindergarten. I was the only brat for whom our teacher had to spend time every morning teaching me how to tie my shoelaces. She was right-handed.
This lecture was presented in 2006. Has brain science changed significantly since then?
My experience (as a palm reader) is that left-handed boys tend to have a harder time being accepted by other boys, but do seem to be more likeable to women which may also reflect on the fact that there seems to be a statistically significant number of left-handed men who become president.
I wasn't good at sports, so was among the last to get picked by teams. I remember that girls are also last to be picked. I don't know if they still do that ritual in gym class nowadays.
I grew up to be a loner instead of president. Being born on February 3rd may have something to do with it?
We have at least two presidents born in February - George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. I don't think there's a quota on how many presidents can be born in each month so you might still have a shot!
Very interesting lecture. Don't agree with everything he says and the timelines, especially those of the religions but I guess you can't upset everyone and expect them to remember the message.
Also what does it mean for Pharma (seemingly very masculine and definitely a war industry)
I think the issue is that when religion becomes part of the state, it gets "printed" and loses it's original meaning. Didn't Jesus say once that many will be fed by the milk of his words but a few will find the meat behind them?
I'm not atheist, but I feel like major religions focus on bullshit. That's why you didn't see many of them push back against the jabs, nor the illegal wars that have happened for decades. They're servants of the society, not of the soul.
Same for science, which started off as an honest curiosity and discovery, only to turn into a business that serves the majority who just follow the crowd.
Not necessarily. I think whoever the state was or is, I believe they always expect "science" to take a back seat to power. Let us not forget the 300 plus years of the Inquisition. how Galileo chose to recant his belief in Copernicus to save his life and how Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake because he wouldn't. I suspect the next step of the Amerikan gov't is to bring back the auto da fe for those of us refusing to believe in their faith-based sicence.
Ok. This is a very interesting lecture with some good points. However, there are many errors, but the one i cannot let pass, is about Athens and Sparta. Why was there an actual war over Helen of Troy? I submit, it was because, She was Spartan. She did have some freedoms, but was herself owned by the fascist state, and must breed with who the state decrees and no other. A bureaucracy owned her. Not even a human man, who could have human attachments and concern for her happiness. In Athens women had their own private faiths, one of the most popular was Dionysus....17 priestesses of such did have freedom, and all women worshipers of such, left their homes during the revels for days...traveling together. Most women had their own home businesses, weaving or making clothes. A household was her business. Often women had rooftop shrines to Adonis. Intimate shrines for rituals for Dionysus as seen in Pompey. Woman sphere of influence, of power is in their powerful nesting instinct, their home, where else should it be? A man seeks his power and recognition outside this arena. Where else should it be? together they are a powerful team, that can defeat adversity. Apart...they will be at odds with life.
I'm going to watch this later today... Ever read a book called "The First Sex"? Came out in early 70's... About history waaaaay back, much further than we're led to believe. Goddess and matriarchy and so forth, which I'd read about before, but I've not heard or read before just how far back we're talking... I'm still reading it, just got it a few days ago. Pretty interesting! Anyway, I'll listen to this later on or tonight and then comment again... Thanks, Rob.

I was recently reading The Matter With Things by Ian Mcgilchrist and yes, turns out females are more left brained.
It makes sense because in many species, females tend to be the ones who have to manage the logistics.
Males are the explorers who see more globally.
You're onto something!
I'm ambidextrous. I thought everyone was, until teenage years where when I'd work on cars with friends, they had little ability with the left hand.
It's like being surprised that many people don't verify what they're told.

Thought... It will eventually CULL US ALL.
