One show was about "common sense," and I was making lots of mistakes. They had this riddle section designed to distract you. After passing someone is second place of a race, what place are you in? You have to slow down and think what place you started from to find yourself behind the second place racer.
Another question was this long description of a bus driver dropping people off and picking up more. None of that actually mattered. There's just one thing you needed to know about the driver in order to answer the question.
Then I went to the show's website, and the interactive portions were MUCH easier:
http://braingames.nationalgeographic.com/#/episodes
I forget if it was that show (common sense) or the one about hemispheres (left and right) where they asked you what to wear if you're traveling in ____ month to ____ location. At first, the month would tell you one thing, but then you realize the weather depends on how close you are to the equator and if you're in the North or South.
The show about hemispheres was even cooler. I thought people were supposed to have one that's "dominant," but the show and the website were changing my opinion on that.
They had this one exercise where you'd see I think 16 animals (pictures) and then the correct text description near the bottom of the picture. First, you just had to read them in 15 seconds. I finished with about 7 or 8 seconds left. Then, they mixed up the words, and you had to say the name of the picture. That slowed me down a little, but I remember either finishing close to the limit or running out on the last picture. I mean, sometimes the pictures were too covered by text to see them, or I was really specific (hummingbird - not just "bird"). Many of the "regular" people ran out of time when the text was wrong, so they showed it's possible by asking a girl who can't read yet to play the game.
Think that was "too easy"? The second grid was probably 20 items (5 columns, 4 rows), and the pictures were food. When they mixed up those words, I was SO CLOSE to getting to the end. I had no idea what was in the 20th picture. It looked brownish, but in kind of an egg or bean shape. By the time of that second grid, I wondered why you even needed to see the pictures OR the words. Like, the first row was:
Waffle cone, pink ice cream scoops
Tomato
Square waffles
Ear of corn, partially peeled (not 100%)
Lollipop with bright swirls
I don't think having that kind of visual recall is related to the idea of left or right brain. On the website, they kept saying my hemispheres are "balanced." Out of ten jobs, they wanted you to pick four that didn't interest you (assuming you had the skills). My thought was, ONLY four? I eliminated things like physicist (too theoretical and narrow minded) and acting coach (you don't want to learn acting from me, LOL). I have written programs before, but it might bug me as a career. In my most recent assignment, I created 2,744 lines of code and comments. I probably could've gotten down to 1,500 or 1,750 lines, but those weren't the instructions. They deliberately asked you to repeat the same steps when that approach didn't make sense for the task of talking to a database. Anyway, I guess physicist is a "logic" thing, which might be the "left" brain. The right side would be creativity (acting coach, piano teacher ...).
Jumping back to the TV show, they had series of words that made the sounds of a popular phrase, but it didn't look like that originally. Those puzzles were things like:
These
guys
they'll
hymn it
Weight
hook
hoe
I got the bottom puzzle within a second or two, probably since they left that for the end of the show and introduced the concept in an earlier segment.
Monday's episode is called "Morality." Not sure about watching that one, since I don't see morality as something that exists in a human brain. There's this broader concept where a human only has consciousness because they have a brain. If your brain dies, the whole body dies. Can't you also die from other organs failing?
In the promo video, the host talked about nature vs nurture when it comes to morality. My answer would be "none of the above." Morality could exist without any human brains existing. It's just hard to demonstrate without at least two people and those people interacting or relating to each other.
Then he also talked about "feedback loops." Sometimes, you'll be driving and see an electronic sign that shows "Your Speed" in big lights. That's supposed to modify behavior. My question would be, didn't the driver already know their speed, based on this thing called the speedometer on the dashboard? Just "modifying behavior" isn't a worthy goal. My pastor keeps explaining that in a parenting class. People need to know their motivation for why they do what they do. When you just modify behavior, it does nothing for motivation. You either end up with an angry person who avoids punishment/consequences, or someone who can't think unless another human micromanages them and gives 24/7 "feedback loops."
The only other thing is, if the left brain specializes in "logic," then why do politics, "religion," and other disagreements get fueled by emotion? You can't really correct a "logical" person without hearing an emotional outburst (something actually predicted by the Bible). Maybe, when both sides are "in balance," something happens with the emotions and reason not letting one side take over? The thing is, I doubt most things in life are designed for making both sides work together. You're usually supposed to favor one side or overuse it.
