A more reasonable question is what caused a small subset of our species to 'go beserk'
and take a subset of the SAM that served our species so well for so long, to such
abstract extremes? An answer might be found, and is argued, in the Ian McGilchrist works
on recent "left-brained" dominance. [left-brain is such a limited shorthand
for what McGilchrist argues in some 700 pages of prose, that I am trepedatious using it
lest it evoke the wrong headed popularization of the notion.]
I am just now trying to gather McGilchrist's ideas in response to
Jenny's private urging to do so. So far I'm impressed that he is
coming to an understanding from a very different route as I am regarding
the relationship between creativity, consciousness, and the fundamental
nature of matter and energy.
