Interesting. You could call it "Spock syndrome" a belief that logic is all you need, but without the creativity coming up with the ideas for your logic to sort through you won't achieve much of anything at all.

The "genesis" of these terms is that "random" was applied back in the 1980s and 90s to the programmers that tended not to be methodical and engineering types but more creative. Some left brained techies had a hard time dealing with them. I used to have long debates with software engineers as too whether software development was a left or right brained discipline. Left brained is for the tools and right brained for the ideas (and solutions). As for "machinelike" as I have mentioned here before I started noticing that the non-programming folks at the company I worked at in the 1990s wanted to be more like machines as they saw that as the pathway to a raise, better position and bigger yearly bonus. At the same time the company was trying to get them to be more creative while I needed my programmers to be more practical and finish their projects instead of dreaming up another one (yes, managing programmers is like herding cats). At the end of the 1990s I saw an interview with a robotics scientist who said he was seeing the same thing I was that people wanted to be more "machinelike." He thought that was wrong. I would highly doubt that much of anyone here is "machinelike" though they might turn on that mindset as needed. Supposedly meditation practices make most people more right brained than left. Unfortunately we have people like Ray Kurzweil who think that people should be more machinelike. He is just so wrong.
