A Strange Sucking Sound...

... perhaps like what he imagined would be produce if the right hemisphere of a child's brain mysteriously vanished into unworldly vaccuum, while his body remained, still living in technical terms, like a sick caricature of ghastly human parody, but dead in every conceivable way. He shuddered at this grim prospect and retrieved his novel.

I think the right hemisphere of my brain died. Truly terrible. I'm convinced that doing too much math and physics rots the other half of the brain. Not only do math and physics exercise numerical analytic capabilites of the left hemisphere, but they constrain one's pattern of thought to certain parameters. The restriction introduced by each one of these parameters is, in fact, a tiny message instructing the brain to constrain itself and thus not exercise creativity. Since the right hemisphere controls creativity, you can see that math and science (particularly physics) have an effect on this part of the brain that is akin to the impact that a runner's consumption of five pounds of lard everyday would have on his/her physical performance. And all of this hogwash about physics requiring "creative" thinking is hogwash. Collectively, physicists are generally regarded as being the social group that is most hostile to new ideas (with the possible exception of the KKK).

Additionally, I've encountered this terrible manifestation of an inferiority complex, whereby I feel increasingly ignorant, stupid, and unempowered with infinitestimally small chunk of knowledge, dk, that I learn. If you think about it, this is the worst possible scenario. The feeling of inferiority drives one to do more to attempt to rectify it by investing more time and effort in school and learning. However, doing so only results in an even greater feeling of inferiority, thus exacerbating the effect.
