About Me

"You might think the government is corrupt, and you might be right. But I'm surprised it isn't worse. I'm surprised they don't shoot us in the street. It's not like we could do anything about it, except maybe die." -Chuck Klosterman, Esquire 2006According to split-brain physiology, your brain is divided like a walnut into two halves.The left half of your brain deals with logic, language, calculation, and reason. This is the half people perceive as their personal identity. This is the conscious, rational, everyday basis of our reality.The right side of your brain is the center of your intuition, emotion, insight and pattern recognition skills. Your subconscious.People live thier lives out of the left half of their brain. It's only when someone is in extreme pain or upset or sick, that their subconscious can slip into their conscious. When someone's injured or sick or mourning or depressed, the right brain can take over for a flash, just an instant and give them access to divine inspiration.A flash of inspiration. A moment of insight.The french psychologist Pierre Janet called this condition "the lowering of the mental threshold."ABAISSEMENT DU NIVEAU MENTAL-Chuck Palahniuk, DIARY
