Clockwise Cat Strikes Back

The Plight of Male, Left-Brained Dominated
Civilizations
By Edwin L. Young, PhD
It is hard for right-brained, sensitive, feelings-oriented women who related to the totality
of their environment, especially social environment, to be harnessed to myopic, feelingsignoring,
goal-oriented males. As with all jocks, warriors, most academicians, engineers,
scientists, male administrators, and especially CEOs, accountants, etc., they all live lives
that exclude feelings, especially their own. Most tend to laugh at feminine sensitivity and
emotionality, yet greedily soak up the feeling sensitivity of their women companions.
My father was definitely left-brained and my mother very right-brained and
consequently, and not just because of my intelligence, they both thought I was strange.
Not all left brainers are aggressive and prone to brutality but the engineering and
scientific types blindly go along with their horrendously brutal, exploitative political,
business, and military leaders.
Almost no one understands this nature of human existence, as the masculine side of
humanity pushes on in their insensitive, goal-oriented manner toward success and
victory, leaving poverty and devastation in their wake. However, that monomaniacal,
insensitive, goal-orientation is driving all existence, all forms of life, over the irreversible
cliff of extinction.
I feel both compassion and profound sadness for this irredeemable characteristic of our
human species.
