This feels like the divide between conservatives and liberals…

There are plenty of examples… in which the left hemisphere not only clearly does not know what it is talking about, but behaves as though it knows perfectly well. Its manner is confident and unhesitating, even when it is talking about something of which it knows absolutely nothing (I will discuss some striking examples in Part I). By contrast, the right hemisphere tends to be hesitant, tentative and flexible, even when it is entirely right. (Iain McGilchrist, The Matter With Things)
