[Ian] I doubt John claimed "belief that Pirsig's classical and romantic modes of thinking are neurological determined."
[Arlo] No, you're right. He had reversed his claim into "classic/romantic modes of thinking causes left/right brainedness". [Ian] More like neurologically "supported", predictable, consistent, consilient, .... few things are "determined" in this world. [Arlo] Except they are not "supported" neurologically. All the current research suggests that 'logic' tasks and 'creative' tasks are not lateralized. Here's an overview that appeared on NPR. http://www.npr.org/blogs/13.7/2013/12/02/248089436/the-truth-about-the-left-brain-right-brain-relationship And, keep in mind, that lateralizations (or even verticalizations) found were universal, not dependent on the personality of the individual. 'Language' tends, they found, to be left-lateralized. But that has nothing to do with calling someone 'creative' or 'logical'.
