Right/Left Brain Division Linked to Lower Structures

I just had an amazing realization, based on intuition and a few observations that are just too ephemeral and personal to relate here. The right half of the cerebral cortex is more closely connected to the thalamus than the left half. The left half is more centered on itself. The limbic system is equally connected to both right and left halves of the cortex.


Extending this with a mixture of logic and intuition, I would say the pre-frontal lobe is more connected to the right half of the cortex than the left.

86 Architecture Rules at Intel

Recently, Intel came out with a new line of chips based on the ancient type of software known as -86 or -286. Chips based on the software may give first come out in the early 1990s or maybe the late 1980s.

I find this very interesting. Although Intel periodically comes out with revolutionary new types of software based their chips on, such as RISC ( reduced instruction set), the old 286-based chips seem to be superseding a much more recent RISC chips, at least in many ways.

I believe the 286 represents a type of super-legacy technology that allows its practitioners to outperform its competitors due to their long familiarity with the software. I believe this is analogous to the way silicon continues to outperform every other material even though people come up with new materials sometimes it seemed to be better. In fact, silicon is the most frequently used material for nanomechanical devices, not because silicon is good material to make mechanical devices out of--- to the contrary I believe--- but because of the huge level of expertise engineers have developed in machining silicon to very small specifications due to its usage as the main material all the IC chips.
