asymmetric containment
- Consider "either/or" thinking and "both/and" thinking.
- From an either/or perspective, you can have either either/or or "both/and". They appear to be in conflict.
- However, from a both/and perspective, you can have both either/or and both/and. Now they aren't in conflict.
- This then applies directly to the two brain hemispheres. The right hemisphere is based on both/and thinking, and can understand and appreciate the left hemisphere's role in thinking, which is either/or based. The left hemisphere cannot understand how the right hemisphere functions. It can have a model of it, but trusting the right hemisphere appears to require a kind of faith.
