An "In Our Right Minds" award-winning Film Screening Event was followed Dale's update on brain research, and then by this Q & A / Audience Commentary.  See the film at https://www.inourrightminds.net/watch-the-film.html

The Balance between Feminine and Masculine Energies, Mechanistic Logic and Intuition (left brain and right brain), Mental Health, and Human Connection

• Modern society overemphasizes logic, structure, and efficiency (left brain) while undervaluing intuition, empathy, and creativity (right brain)
• True human experience is rooted in connection, presence, and relationships with others
• Rapid technological growth is increasing disconnection, anxiety, and emotional distance
• Self-expression (speaking, singing, storytelling) is important for emotional release and inner balance
• Mental health conditions (like schizophrenia or dissociation) highlight different ways of perceiving reality, not just “abnormality”
• Healing involves integration of different parts of the self into a cohesive whole
• Everyone has multiple internal aspects or identities that must be balanced
• Indigenous and holistic perspectives emphasize community, storytelling, and harmony with nature
• Systems like education, healthcare, and workplaces often dismiss intuitive or emotional approaches unless backed by data
• Presence and empathy are essential in healing professions and human interactions
• Many people carry trauma, and healing requires compassion, self-awareness, and reconnection
• Kindness, listening, and valuing every voice are essential for collective well-being
