The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Left Hemisphere
The left hemisphere sees less, attends to less, and therefore takes in less of the world. This can lead to the Dunning-Kruger effect, where less intelligent individuals tend to think they know everything. The phenomenon of the left hemisphere not truly understanding and quickly forming conclusions can result in impatience and anger. Across various cultures, there are stories depicting a conflict between two powers, one of which is superior but is resisted by the other that mistakenly believes it should be the master. This resistance to acknowledging ignorance is a common theme worldwide. Albert Einstein once expressed that a nicer world would emerge if people realized how little they truly know.
