The Unseen Battle of the Brains: Winning in a Left-Dominated World

Welcome to the 19th Edition of Airplane Mode - you made it, and I thank you! As much as this is a journey into different topics, it’s also a journey into my mind, emotions, and personality - and that’s kind of strange. We are on the same wire so to speak, and so it’s also a journey into your own! Whether you be in Portugal, London, Texas, Florida, New York, Ohio, or Greenville, South Carolina - we are all connected and woven in the same tapestry of the internet and our various social networks. Edward Metcalfe said that a network’s value is proportional to the square of the amount of nodes (sidebar: this is why technology businesses are naturally monopolistic - there are network effects at scale). All of this to say, I feel a friendship with you internet travelers, so thank you! We are nodes, traveling some of the same roads, but very different lives and journeys.

Strategic Minds: The Neuroscience Behind Exceptional Leadership

You may have noticed a narrowing. A narrowing of perception, a narrowing of true creativity, a certain dry taste in the mouth over the last 20-25 years. You may not have placed it, and it’s really just coming into the perception of even the most scholarly. Not so much as it’s coming into their perception, but rather that they can articulate such a phenomenon. It’s my personal opinion that right now, in the year 2023, we have either already entered, or are entering a paradigm shift. A shift of sensory reality, a shift into creativity, a shift into men and women reassuming their true purpose in this world and stepping into something a bit more tasteful. I apologize for being so esoteric, the conceptualization of my entire being would take quite a few pages, but I wanted you to have some idea as to where I’m coming from with the hemispheric work. It’s not woo-woo, it’s very much once again the cutting edge of neuroscience and psychology - and I am grateful to have run across this level of research.

I could ramble on for another five paragraphs, wax philosophical, and leave everyone none-the-wiser for it. That’s not why you’re here. If you’re here, I want you to leave with something tangible - so please bear with me. This is going to change you forever if applied. Some of the most successful, sharpest, intelligent people on earth are able to synchronize both hemispheres and naturally reside in that state. This seems a little complex but when you’re done reading this article you’ll likely think “it can’t be that simple - what, no pills from the doctor?” But remember what DaVinci said “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”.

Insights

Stay inside your circle of competence. Don’t be afraid to branch out, but don’t bet the farm on it until your competent enough to not regret losing the whole farm due to ignorance. Chance is one thing - ignorance is another.

What's the point? You have to know where your perimeter is.

Ace

Ace is one of the few remaining men with a study. What happens in there? Cigars and the finest literature from across all of civilization. It's rumored that the Library of Alexandria was preserved and at least an eighth of it is in Ace's study. What is he doing you wonder? Plotting to become Harvard’s new President, and how he will solve the newfound donor problem....
