I was just reading this book called the Paradox Of Wisdom..I think, but anyways one of the things I found really interesting was the authors take on the Left/Right brain split in terms of learning.
His take was that the right brain is much more active when engaged in new activities and with more repetition and experience the left brain is utilized much more and less intensively than the right. I remember reading a bunch of things about how most Intuitors are right brain dominant and it got me thinking maybe thats why striving for novel experiences are so important.
Hmm.... maybe someone with more experience and knowledge in the neuro-sciences can help paint a better picture or come up with a more interesting perspective. Could it be that right brain dominant individuals are better able to utilize that part of the brain and can in fact withhold as much transfer to the left side.
I think though that I don't "ever" really come to a point where something is so routinized that I don't see a new aspect or don't get the feeling that I can alter it somehow, I don't know it seems like I will never have the raw proficiency that I've observed some S's have. It seems like my intelligence and ability lie in my ability to be creative and ask the right questions for each situation. I think I sometimes foolishly rely on my ability to think quickly on my feet and utilize my meta-cognitive abilities for new situations.
