The host, SHANKAR VEDANTAM (SV), asks his guest, IAIN MCGILCHRIST (IM), to repeat the basic over simplified interpretation of left and right brained individuals. What are the phrases that IM uses to describe the over-simplified understanding? During what time period was this understanding being emphasized, according to IM?

Explanation:

The United States is a power hungry country with a popular of nearly 400 million people.

Providing power to such a large population, both cheaply and reliably is not easy and takes various forms of power plants and energy methods to make sure energy is available to everyone.

When it comes to using electric driven cars, it becomes unreliable, since most electric cars have a limited range and the United States being a large country cannot currently support this.

People would rather use their cars which can provide up to 500 miles of mileage than an electric car which hardly goes 100 miles.

However, the impact of increasing fossil fuels can negatively impact biodiversity in surrounding ecosystems. Increasing carbon monoxide in the air will only lead to degradation of plant and animal life.
