all this "left and right" talk is strange when used to describe political and social affiliation, I am stuck with the association of brain function, left being the logical, right being artistic, but when these directions are stolen to represent poli/social orientation they are reversed, the "Right" seems conservative, and conservatism hinders artistic endeavor, but the "Left" are more loose and not very logical in the mathematic, rigid sense.
it is said that the learning and thinking process is enhanced when both sides of the brain participate in a balanced manner, I wonder if this applies to this strange affiliation game? or would you think that would be reversed too?

Hi Dish. Welcom to TSG.

Your absolutely correct.

It is usually the right that are less artistic and more technical and the left which are mutch more artistic and less technical.

Which is in direct opposite to the sides of the human brain and how it functions.

Much like the colors assigned to the political parties these days.
Republicans should be blue and Democrats should be red. It just makes more logical sense that way.

Two party system is a natural progression of 2 opposing philosophies.

Unfortunately it means that everyone gets stuck with the extremes if whichever party is in power.

And natually the moderates of both sides are the big losers ... and the real majority.
