“IN THE HEAD THERE ARE TWO BRAINS: ONE GIVES THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND, THE OTHER PROVIDES THE SENSORY PERCEPTION. THAT IS TO SAY, ON THE RIGHT THERE IS WHAT PERCEIVES, BUT IS WITH THE LEFT SIDE THAT WE UNDERSTAND”.

DIOCLES OF CARISTO, 4TH CENTURY BC.
THE LEFT SIDE
THE DIVISION OF THESE TWO SOULS AND THEIR COEXISTENCE IN A SINGLE BODY HAS PRODUCED MORE PHILOSOPHICAL THAN DIAGNOSTIC PROBLEMS. ROGER SPERRY’S STUDIES (AWARD-WINNING THE NOBEL PRIZE IN MEDICINE) SHOW THAT THE RIGHT HEMISPHERE PROCESSES THE DATA IN A RAPID, SPATIAL, NON-VERBAL, SYNTHETIC AND GLOBAL WAY WHILE THE LEFT HEMISPHERE ANALYSES DETAILS, MARKS THE PASSING OF TIME, PROGRAMMES, CARRIES OUT VERBAL AND CALCULATIONS FUNCTIONS, BOTH LINEAR AND SYMBOLIC. IT’S JUST THE EXTRAORDINARY IMPULSE OF LITERATURE THAT EXPLAINED HOW CRONOPIOS AND FAMAS (CORTAZAR) CAN COEXIST IN HUMAN SOUL. HUMAN BEINGS ARE NOT ONLY ABLE TO USE BOTH SIDES OF THEIR BRAIN ( INSTINCTIVE AND RATIONAL, CHAOTIC AND ORDINATE, POETIC AND EFFICIENT) BUT ARE ALSO ABLE TO USE THEM SIMULTANEOUSLY.
THIS CAPABILITY IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE PROCESS OF ADAPTATION TO CHANGE; THE DISORIENTATION CAUSED BY THE LOSS OF CERTAINTIES IS BALANCED BY THE ABILITY TO CREATE A NEW HORIZON OF MEANING, WHICH MADE THE HUMAN BEING MORE INCLINED TO CHANGE, AND THEREFORE, TO GROW. FOR THIS REASON, IN A TIME OF PROFOUND CHANGE FOR THE MEN’S LIFE, WE PROPOSE A VISION THAT WILL AMPLIFY THE USE OF THE RIGHT HEMISPHERE, WHICH IS SYMBOLICALLY AN OBLIGATION TO THE USE OF THE LEFT HAND THROUGH BY WEARING A SPECIAL STRAITJACKET MADE AD HOC TO SYMBOLIZE THE OBLIGED USE OF THE LEFT HAND. THE NEW CHANGES, THE TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION AND THE EVOLUTION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS, TRANSFORM IRREVOCABLY HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS. THIS RESULTS IN A NEED FOR TIME TO REFLECT RATHER THAN A STANCE ON THE QUALITY OF THE RELATIONS PRODUCED.
