They hardly ever talk about how it factors into art, literature, creativity, and multitaltedness. Being a polymath like me, Benjamin Franklin, and Leonardo, in other words.
There really isn't much denying that most writer-artists like myself, people who can switch from doing something Right-Brained (art, design, images) to doing something Left-Brained (Writing, literature, science, words) comprise a HUGE percentage of the cross-dominance population. Many of us (not all, but most) I'm pretty sure are real life geniuses. Rationals, Multi-talented, ingenuity, Cross-Dominance of Brain Hemispheres, Aspergers. Yeah, they're all linked. Make a note, doc.

And those are the ones that are still alive. Many people in Silicon Valley are. So are many of the people RUNNING Hollywood and the comics and animation industries, particularly the ones like Jhonen who somehow managed animation AND comics.
