Two Brain Theory
There is a major disconnect between WHO I AM and WHO THE ADULT WORLD THINKS I AM.
As Jill Bolte Taylor explained "at the core of my right hemisphere consciousness is a character that is directly connected to the expression of peace, love, joy, and compassion in the world." In the world of adult males, this trait is almost like signing your death warrant.
So how am I (and many other residents of Wrong Planet) perceived by our peers?
Generally that is a function of who my peers are. Are they a child or an adult. That is because age alters the perception of Peter Pan.
For example some adults (not all) view Peter Pan in the following way:
Adults often respond to Peter Pan as being about their own loss of innocence, when, in fact, it is about its deliberate retention. That is infinitely more twisted and sad. If we are ever really going to grow up, we should stop wrapping the play in a gauze of nostalgia and acknowledge that Peter Pan is a work of genius and of genuine horror.
This is really at the core. So perhaps I might begin at the beginning, somewhere in England over a century ago.
-------------------------------------------------------
It is however extremely significant to point out briefly some relevant aspects regarding Victorian society. Generally speaking, it was a very strict society, though highly industrialized and hard working, ruled by narrow moral values and almost entirely submitted to a patriarchal social order. Children and childhood were beginning then to be sensed as particular problems of the time, with their own needs and demands to which there were no definite answers. Specially children from the lower, working classes were forced to work hard in extremely bad conditions, both human and sanitary, living short and dreadful lives with hardly any possibilities of finding a way out from their families’ long established misery. They worked usually eight to twelve hours per day, six days a week, had no access to education, and even playing with other children was scarcely allowed to them by parents or any other kind of adult tutor or teacher. Apart from their natural liveliness and willingness to live life in full, often assailed by illnesses that cut short their hopes and future prospects, these were unhappy children, often treated very much as slaves, earning little more than nothing to help with the household daily expenses.
Nevertheless, it was in Victorian times that education and the welfare of children began to be a theme of concern to many physicians, psychologists, pedagogues and educators in general. Books for children seem to have first appeared as a consequence of children’s unhappiness, as they tried to give them back their lost hope, opening up their dream capabilities through the creation of imaginary worlds, full of fantasy and beauty. In these utopian realms, children could eventually be happy, having to obey to no rules, as they could simply be children and nothing else, utterly free to play as much as they wished, without all restraints of the adult world they knew so well and abhorred so much.
As far as the Lost Boys are concerned we can easily notice that even though they respect Peter as a ‘father’ figure, or perhaps more as a ‘leader’ in their adventures, they feel that they need a mother, what leaves the reader with the feeling that Neverland is a perfect world but not a complete one. Peter Pan is rather a complex and somehow strange boy who is the actual leader of the Lost Boys, as it he who sets the law in Neverland. A clear example of this is, for instance, the fact that although Peter forbade the Lost Boys to talk about mothers, he flies back to the real world in order to find a mother for all of the
Peter chose Wendy to be the mother of all lost boys because he had already seen her taking care of her brothers; he believed she might be their ideal mother because she knew a lot of stories – “Oh the stories I could tell to the boys!” – she could put them to sleep “And you could darn or clothes, and make pockets for us. None of us has any pockets” – feed them, take care of them when they were sick and all sort of things mothers usually do; but most important of all was that she was also a child. Barrie’s Wendy is a kind of small adult and she goes to Neverland to satisfy her brothers’ wishes as well as her own: being the elder and the most responsible of the three she believes she is in charge of them and must protect them. That is one of the reasons she agrees to go; the other, and not a lesser reason, is that she feels sorry that Peter and the lost boys have no mother.

Then when very small and out of interesting reading material . Would proof read magazines , that eventually would be destined for the trash. And cross out words in the articles in certain sentences, to create new meanings. To the entire sentence, and still try to keep it in context with the rest of the paragraph.

But it really becomes a problem in MATH. I write a check for $17.84. But the numbers are written $71.84. Luckily my writing has improved as I recovered. Otherwise I might become a pauper.

Yes, yes finances and math are truley a different subject. Have historically gotten better about numbers, oddly enough ? If I phonetically sound out each number in sequence, it starts to become easier to get numbers on Cheques
Correct . But most importantly , I never ever write a Cheque in a hurry . I get very anxious with any person trying to rush me in a money issue . And will insist on ,taking my time to deal with money.
Have had people take me for great deal of money in the past , but never by means of my accounting errors .
Occasionally I still interchange numbers .

I am going to go a little bit off-topic for a few minutes. Apparently Peter Pan has a history. Around a hundred years before there was Peter Pan, there was a real Peter Pan and he had some Aspie qualities.
Before Neverland, there was Kensington Gardens, and before the legend of Peter Pan was written, there were the true 18th century adventures of Peter the Wild Boy. It is the most magical story because it is actually true.
In 1725, Peter the Wild Boy was found living in the forest near Hanover, Germany and brought to live in Kensington Palace where King George and his daughter-in-law, Princess Caroline, looked after him. Peter’s innocence, intuition and charm won the hearts of the Royal Family who fell in love with the boy who never grew up. All of society was talking about him. Jonathan Swift wrote in exasperation, “There is scarcely talk of anything else.” Swift himself wrote extensively about Peter, as did Daniel Defoe, and other contemporary writers.
Nearly 100 years later, J.M. Barrie came to live across the street from Kensington Gardens where tale of the gentle, fun-loving Wild Boy was still being told. Some scholars believe it was part of the inspiration for his book “Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.”
Today, 200 years later, geneticists believe that Peter the Wild Boy actually had Pitt Hopkins Syndrome! That’s why he couldn’t speak (like our children) and never lost his child like curiosity. Imagine that – there are only 500 diagnosed children with Pitt Hopkins in the world, and the inspiration for Peter Pan may have been one of them!

Pitt-Hopkins syndrome is a condition characterized by intellectual disability and developmental delay, breathing problems, recurrent seizures (epilepsy), and distinctive facial features. Many affected individuals exhibit features of autistic spectrum disorders, which are characterized by impaired communication and socialization skills.

Well it dropped down to a chilly 6.3 degrees F (-14.3 degress C, or 258.9 degrees K) this morning.
My second brain was extremely vibrant last night. It was trying to explain something that was intuitively obvious about the author of Peter Pan, Sir James Matthew Barrie, 1st Baronet. He was an Aspie. He wrote about a boy who never grew up because he was a boy who never grew up himself. (In a strange way J.M. Barrie was writing about himself.)
Well I knew that. But did you say it.
Well I think I did. Well thinking and saying are two entirely different things. So say it.
O.K.

Interesting thing about Right brain dominant .. have found a degree of being ambidextrous seems to have been very common with me. And oddly enough, not sure if this is/ was due to a previous injury, it seems a nessesity of having both eyes working together to decipher some pictures . If am looking at a picture with action implied in it .
Usually with a person in a more confined space. .If I initially view the picture with only my left eye. It does not discern the details of what it sees , More like a disjointed jigsaw puzzle .Then have noticed when opening the right eye . It becomes clear what was support to be a image of , And quite clearly . Had never actually taken time to see this difference until following this thread. Makes me wonder why , to assemble a accurate definition of what I am seeing , has required both eyes . Unless the creative side is required to see from a artistic point of view.To get what some pictures represent.

Asperger's syndrome was first described in the 1940s by Viennese pediatrician Hans Asperger, who observed autism-like behaviors and difficulties with social and communication skills in boys who had normal intelligence and language development.
Since J.M. Barrie passed away in 1937, it is rather unlikely that anyone made that connection during his lifetime.
But there is an old saying that "it takes one to know one". So I see some of the characteristic traits in J.M. Barrie.
Autism has existed for a long, long time. Further back to the beginning of mankind.

After my stroke, I suffered vision loss. The following describes the condition:
There are many types of visual field loss after a stroke, but the most common one is called hormonymous hemianopia. This is when people can only see the right half or the left half of what they are looking at out of each eye.
That is what happened to me. I sustained vision loss on my right side.
Most people with eye stroke notice a loss of vision in one eye upon waking in the morning with no pain. Some people notice a dark area or shadow in their vision that affects the upper or lower half of their visual field. Other symptoms include loss of visual contrast and light sensitivity.
Now I am in no way suggesting you suffered from a stroke, but rather the human brain is a very complex system.

So now I am going to try and describe a major disconnect.
Most children understand me because I am just like them, a child at heart. But that is not the case of adults. Some adults just have a very twisted sense. I almost might use the word EVIL, but I try and see the good side in people, so discard that.
I am like Peter Pan. At a young age of 3 or 4 years, I was attacked by a large animal and almost died. As a result (in my opinion) my left side of my brain went off line and my right side decided to step in and carry the weight. As time went on my left side came back on-line and stepped in to perform the functions normally performed by my right brain. But our two brains are very different. As a result I experienced a brain reversal.
This really wasn't a problem until I reached the age where young boys become young men, around the age of 10-12 and then all hell broke lose. I suffered severe trauma from the hands of my peers. (Scared for life)
So even though I am 73 years old, I am still a young child. (Generally a happy young boy.)
[If you saw the movie "Free Guy" you might get an idea of what I am talking about. I begin each day anew.]
As Jill Bolte Taylor explained "at the core of my right hemisphere consciousness is a character that is directly connected to the expression of peace, love, joy, and compassion in the world."
But in the real world that I live in [the world where left brains dominate the primary brains structure of adults], that is almost like signing a death warrant. Why is that? Well, because adults take shortcuts and fabricate reality.
Here is one analysis of Peter Pan:
Peter Pan Is A Total Jerk, And There Are Mountains Of Evidence To Prove It
Peter Pan is a lot of things: a child who can fly, a rogue, a dreamer, and perhaps above all else, a terrible person. In fact, he's kind of a sociopath. Instead of viewing him as a childhood hero, you should probably be scared of Peter Pan.
-Peter Tries To Indiscriminately Kill Adults
-Peter 'Thins Out' The Lost Boys When They Get Older
-Peter Is A Traitor For The Fun Of It
-He Occasionally Withholds Food From The Lost Boys
-Peter Generally Treats Wendy Like Garbage
-He Doesn't Respect Tinker Bell At All
-Peter Destroys Families By Kidnapping Their Children
-Peter Torments The Darling Descendants For Generations
-Captain Hook Only Wants Revenge On The Delinquent Who Cost Him His Hand
Another author writes
Confronting Peter Pan's 'awfully big adventure'
It is the story of a strange, dysfunctional boy who refuses to grow up, who hangs around a nursery window and lures children away to a place where they meet a fairy who has the morals and murderous impulses of Lucrezia Borgia, and do battle with a wicked pirate who is both a distorted father figure and a walking, talking phallic symbol.
The story is, of course, Peter Pan and, like other great examples of Victorian and Edwardian wonderland literature, it was written by a man whose relationship with children was at best suspect. There is no evidence that J.M. Barrie ever acted on any of his impulses and most contemporary reports describe him as distinctly asexual, but his predilection for frequenting Kensington Gardens making friends with children would today set alarm bells ringing and send social workers running to take protective action.
----------------------------------
There are a variety of article that portray Peter Pan and its author J.M. Barrie as a source of great evil.
I see him as an Aspie.

I think the central premise of this post is a flawed understanding of neuro anatomy.
Our brains have many specialised regions. These are spread across both hemispheres of the brain. There is only one connection between the left and right hemispheres, and if this connection is severed (as it sometimes has to be in epileptic people) then afterwards people struggle to perform certain tasks. But it is difficult to make sweeping judgements about one side being “creative” and one side being “analytical”, not least because creativity requires a lot of analysis and original thinking requires creativity!
There is no evidence that people have “dominant hemispheres”: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/artic ... ne.0071275
I woke up this morning and my second brain, my REM brain, had left me an interesting saying:
TWO BRAINS ARE BETTER THAN ONE
Before that he left me with a Quest.
SAVE THE WORLD FROM NEAR TOTAL DESTRUCTION THAT IS ALMOST AT OUR DOORSTEP.
He didn't explain what he meant but luckily I already knew. It was the Next Ice Age.

Computers have many components. They include:
Motherboard
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Random Access Memory (RAM)
Power Supply Unit (PSU)
Video card
Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Solid-State Drive (SSD)
Optical disk drive (e.g., BD/DVD/CD drive)
Card reader (SD/SDHC, CF, etc.)
Many of these components support the master processor.
A dual processor computer has two separate CPUs, which are physically separated on the motherboard. The two processors may share resources (like the CPU bus and cache), but are physically separate. In a dual-core system, the two processors are combined into a single chip that may look like one processor.
Normal human brains have two processors and in general these processors perform different functions. They combine together to make one system. But what happens to a person at a relatively young age when these processors are in the initial stages of development when they are two separate processors, the period in humans before 10-12 years old, the period before these two regions are joined together into one complete system?

Firstly, in general the two hemispheres of the brain perform the same functions. Low-level processing and recognition is often lateralised, but both sides process sensory data, for example, never mind handling logic or creativity.
Secondly, the two hemispheres are joined by the corpus callosum at much younger than 10-12 years old. In fact, the corpus callosum is formed 10-12 days after conception.
