Food for Thought

                Both Noah Charney and Jill Bolte Taylor are having a dinner date at a small café to discuss their thoughts of how the world around them is perceived and how they think it should be perceived. Taylor being older and having more experience (both studying the mind and her stroke) with the human brain would speak more condescendingly like a grandmother would talk. Taylor would tell Charney about her stroke and how that experience affected her perspective of the world and how it made her brain feel so good to be in that state of nirvana. Charney is intrigued and would follow up by mentioning his article and how abstract art can give you a different way of looking at things and make your brain hurt so good. The two would have a laugh and Charney would continue to speak about bottom up and top down thinking and how it is somewhat similar to how the two hemispheres of the brain think differently from one another. The similarities between both Charney’s article and Taylor’s speech are similar and lets the two discuss similar ideas but also different enough so both Charney and Taylor leave their dinner knowing more information and different perspectives on the topic to plug in to their next work.
