Left, Right; Right, Left

Question of the Day
?left to right read who people than differently things do down and up or left to right read who People

Did you get it, or do you need a mirror?

Here's an interesting statement I found searching the Internet:

...but does a particular direction of visual layout of information predispose our brains physically?
Yes, in the sense that anything you do over and over becomes "wired" that way. It's kind of like a path through tall grass. Once you've found a way through, the next time it's easiest to go by the same route. Each time you walk through you flatten more grass and it's easier and easier to take that route rather than any other possible one.

Someone just explained this to me in another thread. When one neuron fires out of several that might fire, the one that fires gets more nourishment from the surrounding glial cells. That makes it healthier and zippier than the nearby neurons and much more likely to fire than any others the next time.

Those pre-Columbian Native Americans surely had a most efficient scanning system - I sometimes find myself pouring similarly for particular words.
I was just thinking that when I wrote it out: it's not a bad idea for faster reading, except it would require us to learn to read and write "mirror" writing. Keyboards would have to have twice as many keys. Typos could get very complex.

I never thought of it as "scanning," but hell, that's what it is. I keep forgetting that computers are simply typewriters with storage cabinets attached to them and how you can view your files as pictures on a teevee screen. How do we read our files? We scan them. Wow, we are human scanners--we work just like a scanner works. Wow. Do scanners work on Japanese? Well, sure they do since the eye is a camera, right, Susan Sontag? The eye is photographing, or scanning, when it reads. If we have photographic memory, like the memory in our computers, then hell we are computers. Even if we don't have a photographic memory we still have a memory, a coded memory, yeah. Wow, I love this stuff; it's sociology, folks. But then it's art, too; the art of perception. But then it becomes philosophy, the study of files.

I just didn't have much to say today. A lazy day. I was trying to read some Persian when the question of the day came to me. Do people who read right to left react differently to everyday actions, like reading signs, reading human signals, using the brain, etc? Right brain. Left brain. Isn't that pseudoscience? Like bioclocks and shit like that? More in L. Ron Hubbard's line of warped logic, a fiction writer's vision of a scientific god. Mystery becomes the reason for the belief. God it's as deep as the brain. Scanning. I am looking at that word differently than I ever did. It no longer has the brand name Epson on it.

Just In: We see a developer has bought Astroland, the famous Coney Island amusement park and is planning to turn it into a rich boy's playyard. Yep, condos, hotels, and an all new amusement park with hopefully one day casino gambling...looks like the New Mafia, the land developers, are going to take another public amusement area away from the people of New York City. Development, in case you didn't know it, means laundering huge amounts of drug money, redirecting bank monies through the system of the developer's networks--illegal monies, like Mafia takes and bribery money and counterfeit money. I sometimes am amazed at the amount of fools who are in Atlantic City dropping their lives down the toilet of luck, of which, of course, there is no such thing. Coincidence? Yes. Luck? No. I'm thinking all the fools when they win are probably paid off in counterfeit monies, who the hell really knows. With today's modern scanners and shit, you can reproduce a pretty authentic-looking piece of money on the office copier.
