"Should we split up, or is this a horror movie?"
"Scream if something eats you," Gansey said.
Some of the most bone-headed, science-based proclamations in the past have underestimated the ingenuity of inventors and engineers: “We will never fly.” “Flying will never be commercially feasible.” “We will never split the atom.” “We will never break the sound barrier.” “We will never go to the Moon.” What they have in common is that no established law of physics stood in the their way.
Gender Projection—Types
Although there are infinite variations, below you will find six of the more common types of gender projections. (...)
1- The Devilish Romantic: For the woman in this scenario, the man who fascinates her—often older and successful—might seem like a rake, the type who cannot help but chase after young women. But he is also romantic. When he’s in love, he showers the woman with attention. She decides she will seduce him and become the target of his attention. She will play to his fantasies. How can he not want to settle down with her and reform himself? She will bask in his love. But somehow he is not as strong, masculine, or romantic as she had imagined. He is a bit self-absorbed. She does not get the desired attention, or it does not last very long. He cannot be reformed, and leaves her.
This is often the projection of women who had rather intense, even flirtatious relationships with the father. Such fathers often find their wives boring, and the young daughter more charming and playful. They turn to the daughter for inspiration; the daughter becomes addicted to their attention and adept at playing the kind of girl that daddy wants. It gives her a sense of power. It becomes her lifelong goal to recapture this attention and the power that goes with it. Any association with the father figure will spark the projecting mechanism, and she will invent or exaggerate the man’s romantic nature. (...)
Women in this scenario have become trapped by the early attention paid to them by the father. They have to be continually charming, inspiring, and flirtatious to elicit that attention later on. Their animus is seductive, but with an aggressive, masculine edge, having absorbed so much of the father’s energy. But they are in a continual search for a man who
“I believe in love at first sight. Fate, the universe all of it. But not how you’re thinking. I don’t mean it in our souls were split and you’re my other half forever and ever sort of way. I just think you’re meant to meet some people. I think the universe nudges them into your path.”
Gülmeyin; hepimiz, pardon hepimizin beyinleri, aynı. Bilmiyorsak uyduruyoruz.Siyaset
"Gazzaniga, beyninin iki yarısı birbirinden ayrılmış, iki yarımkürenin birbiri ile iletişimi kesilmiş deneklerin sol gözlerine -yani beynin sağ yarısına- erotik bir fotoğraf göstermiş*. Denekler sinirli bir biçimde gülmüşler. Sonra deneklere neden güldüklerini sormuş. Deneğin lisanı sol yarımkürede kaldığından, soruyu anlayan o, cevap vermesi gereken de o. Lakin, kendisinin tuhaf biçimde güldüğü işiten denek, daha doğrusu deneğin beyninin sol yarısı, fotoğrafı görmediğinden, neden güldüğünü de bilmiyor.
Denekler "valla bilmem ki" dememişler. Ya ne yapmışlar? İşittikleri, kendi gülmelerine yakıştığını düşündükleri sebepler uydurmuşlar. Odadaki falanca kişinin ayakkabılarını çıkarmış olmasını, filanca kişinin tuhaf bir harekette bulunduğunu filan söylemişler.
1994'te kamuoyu araştırmaları tasarlamaya ve yönetmeye başladıktan kısa süre sonra, deneğin beyanının ancak son derece sınırlı özelliklerdeki sorular için güvenilir olduğunu farketmiştim. Mesela önümüzdeki seçimde kime oy vereceği, eğer seçim sathı mailine girilmişse, oldukça güvenilir bir biçimde tespit edilebiliyordu. Ama oy verme tercihine yol açanın ne olduğunu öğrenmek hiç de kolay değildi. Denek anketörü dolandırdığından değil, sahiden bilmiyordu. Ama "bilmiyorum" da demiyordu. Uyduruyordu."
* The Split Brain in Man, Scientific American 217
“This integration reflects the way our minds work, the way we function and interact; our split between logic, reason, and something else,” he said, “something closer to feeling, or spirit. There’s a word that will probably make you bristle. But we can’t, even the most practical-minded of us, understand the world through rationality, not entirely. We depend on symbols for meaning.”
