Amalgamation of order and chaos

Amalgamation of order and chaos in the brain can be detected easily in humans, as they can give account of their psychic experiences. Penfield, in his... 

I conjecture that each side of the amalgamation of order and chaos, of the simultaneity of the rational and irrational in the human brain is of equal physiological importance for human life. We owe to the rational brain (order), the creator of science, our ability to survive in the real world, and we owe to the irrational brain (chaos), the mother of art, our ability to escape from reality. A minority born with an unusually high sensitivity to realize the chaos in their brain will aspire to find their place in art, whereas another minority endowed with a diametrically opposed sensitivity will strive to be productive in science/technology. The overwhelming majority, being devoid of special affinity in either direction, is saved from the irrepressible drives to create something and live in obscurity. 

The concrete biochemistry of cortical enhancer regulation, the puzzle of the amalgamation of order and chaos in the human brain is still unsolved. As usual, attractive descriptions remedy such deficiencies. Freud s work was the hitherto most influential description of the coexistence of rational and irrational, conscious and unconscious, in the human brain. It is no accident that his fascinating writings, enjoyable readings closer to fiction than science, have always deeply influenced many artists. Freud also provided a delightful interpretation of dreams at the boundary between art and science. It was probably the pseudo-scientific nature of his brilliant books that precluded him from receiving the well-deserved Nobel Prize for literature.
