    Yeah when I’d “disable” my right hand I’d have to wait for the weekends or homework that involved writing wouldn’t be able to get done. You did this as an adult? That’s dedication. I think in time anyone could adapt if they had to or could afford to be low-functioning for a while but I always wonder if there’s shortcut steps to start rewiring your brain to not automatically assign tasks to your dominant hand.

      Yeah I was into a lot of biofeedback ideas and trying to hack my brain by changing your normal behavior. Most of the things you change go back when you stop doing those things, but sometimes things stay with you. I am much more empathetic now than I used to be.
