- Reading: There are two brain hemispheres
Anyone else kind of creeped out that there are two hemispheres that make up your brain and each on is in many ways functioning without dependence on the other? Do you think your sense of identity is really only being applied to one of them and there's another person calling the shots on your life in the other hemisphere who you just don't have direct access to hear thoughts from?
Do you think your other hemisphere judges the dominant one you identify with? Could it secretly resent you?
I don't think so, even if it hated you it would want to do the best for you since it needs you to survive.

That's only if it's rational. My guess is for most people, the non-dominant hemisphere is irrational and could develop negative feelings for the conscious mind of the other hemisphere.

Sorry, that's not how it works.The cerebral hemispheres are mutually interdependent in a host of ways. They specialize functionally to a certain extent, but your consciousness and interactions with the world are a function of the totality. You don't "identify" with one or the other - that's unbelievably simplistic bullshit.
BTW I'm a clinical and forensic neuropsychologist.

Utter nonsense
