The brain and poverty


As most of us are economically poor, we might think that the left brain works best in poverty.

Humans are the species most vulnerable, having to care for their young longer to reach adulthood.

Violence, extremist and radical solutions, are those of the weakest. Quickly beset by despair, we take extreme measures. Only radical solutions are reassuring, which mostly include the death of this or that make us nervous.

The medicine in surgery its most violent, radical and war. Not only are extremist in nature but one of our core moral standards (medicine), gives examples of death permanently (which cuts tissue, removed, cut off), even under the pretext of saving lives ... I do not always saved with this approach and knowing also that there are other less violent healing techniques with similar results.

Much evidence lead us to believe that the human brain, being divided into two hemispheres, may have a more developed than the other.

This feature anatomical and functional lead us to perceive reality in two poles: the good and bad, white and black, life and death.

The existence of these two hemispheres, of which one works better than the other, makes a majority can not perceive reality in its entirety but, if we see the good we do not perceive the evil, if we perceive life, death does not perceive , etc.

As discussed, in most humans the left hemisphere is better developed than the right hemisphere.

Since it is a proven fact that most humans are poor, we might think that the left hemisphere performs better in poverty.
