Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor

On the right side.

It's right here right now.

And in the right here right now, what do I care about?

I care about connection because I'm not individualized.

Here, I'm a part of the whole.

I am.

We are all standing around this beautiful planet and I, man...

is equal to all the other creatures and all the other life and to the life of the planet.

We are one construct here.

And we either figure out how to nurture and support and be one thing.

We are one human family.

In our right hemisphere, you are my brother.

I love you.

I can support you.

I can nurture you.

I can encourage you because you're a part of me.

And then the left hemisphere comes online and says, oh, Jill, that is so inappropriate for you to say.

And he has his body space and I have my body space.

And we need to be formal and we need to right and wrong and good and bad.

And we need to establish how the construct of the social norm is that we are now going to take the mass of all that we are and fit ourselves in that so that we can communicate with one another and run a world.
