@johnseach It always bewildered me growing up, I could do write with my left, but throw with my right, and other things that kept me thinking am I left dominant or ambidextrous, took some searching to find the answer, mixed handed. Mind blown...

[Dr John Seach @johnseach]

Mixed Handed - the Forgotten People

Mixed-handedness, or cross-dominance, refers to the preference for using different hands for different tasks. While most people are either predominantly right-handed or left-handed, mixed-handers might write with one hand but throw a ball or use scissors with the other. Here's a deeper dive into this phenomenon:

What is Mixed-Handedness?

Definition: It's not just about ambidexterity, where one can use both hands equally well. Mixed-handedness means having a dominant hand for some tasks and the opposite hand for others.

Examples:
Writing with the right hand but using a spoon with the left. Throwing a ball with the left hand but using a computer mouse with the right.

The Forgotten People

Prevalence:
While left-handedness is well-documented, mixed-handedness is less frequently discussed. Estimates suggest that around 1% of the population might be truly ambidextrous, but mixed-handedness could be more common, though exact figures are harder to pin down due to varying definitions.

Cultural Neglect:
Education: School systems are often designed with right-handers in mind, and even left-handers have seen more accommodation over time. Mixed-handers might not fit neatly into either category, leading to unique challenges.

Sports: In sports, while left-handers have certain advantages (like in tennis or boxing), mixed-handers might not leverage these benefits as straightforwardly.

Implications of Mixed-Handedness

Cognitive and Neurological Aspects:
Research suggests that mixed-handed individuals might have different brain lateralization compared to strictly right or left-handed people. This could affect cognitive functions, though the exact implications are still under study.

There's some evidence that mixed-handedness might be linked with higher creativity or different problem-solving approaches, but this is not universally agreed upon.

Daily Life Challenges:

Tools and Equipment: Many tools are designed for right-handers, with some adaptations for left-handers. Mixed-handers might find themselves switching tools or adapting in ways that aren't always intuitive.

Learning: Tasks like writing or playing musical instruments might require more conscious effort to choose which hand to use, potentially affecting learning curves.

Social Perception:
Mixed-handers might be seen as indecisive or less coordinated because they don't fit into the typical handedness categories. This can lead to social or self-perception issues.

Why Mixed-Handedness is Often Overlooked

Research Focus: Most studies on handedness focus on the dichotomy between right and left, leaving mixed-handedness in a gray area.
Cultural Norms: Societies often push for conformity, making mixed-handedness seem like an anomaly rather than a variation worth exploring or accommodating.

Conclusion
Mixed-handedness represents a fascinating aspect of human variation that doesn't fit neatly into the binary handedness model. While often forgotten or misunderstood, understanding and accommodating mixed-handedness could offer insights into brain function, learning, and even societal design. Recognizing this group could lead to more inclusive environments where everyone's unique handedness is considered.

I can’t believe it. Our new video has 2.5 MILLION views in less than 24 hours.

Because voters are HORRIFIED that Trump is turning his ICE gestapo against American citizens.

Let’s get to 3 million views. Because when we expose the truth, we win.

and so our NDAs are now void

why i left VSHOJO -

back in 2023, vshojo tried to bully me into one of the most predatory contracts that i have ever seen. when i tried to ask more about it, their COO got extremely hostile with me and refused to answer any of my questions and so i had to hire a lawyer in order to get some clarification.

during the talks, it became clear that vshojo would rather let me go than to take less away from me. they were ultimately wanting me to give up more than half of all my sponsor revenue and over 60% of all merch sales. all i asked from them in return, is to not take a cut of the sponsors that i was getting through Mythic, as that cut was already being taken. they said no, they want it all. and so i asked to leave after being treated like i was disposable in our talks. they basically made it seem like they were my employer, and that they're the reason for my success. that i owe them and that i should be happy to give them my money.

in order for me to leave, they demanded i sign an nda that prevented me from speaking to any of the other talent about it. i could not say why i was leaving, i could not say what the terms that i was saying no to were. i even got in trouble for advising them to hire their own attorneys. they would watch my streams, read my discord, and then threaten to sue me. if i said anything that hinted towards how i really felt about the company, i was threatened with a lawsuit.

another one of their leave terms was that they will announce both me and silver on the same day in order to minimize the damage to their company. their COO has begun to push a narrative on 4chan (yes im serious lmfao) and other social media that i am leaving because i plan to join OTK and that both me and silvervale are troublemakers, so they were "letting" us go. later i found out that nyanners wanted to leave around the same time due to also being unhappy with the contract, but was told that she couldn't because it did not fit their narrative that they were pushing internally AND externally. the amount of hate we've gotten over leaving, from fans calling us greedy bitches to people saying we're abandoning our friends and tossing aside the company because we're successful enough, shit was fucking painful. not being able to say anything sucked.

i only found out i didn't get paid for any of my sponsors after i had already signed the NDA. after 2 years, i have still not been paid back fully. to add insult to injury, they also demanded i had to pay them back 10k for some of the anniversary assets which when they sent me back months later, were half finished.

despite all of that, i've had immense faith that the company has gotten better over the past 2 years. i assumed they rewrote their contracts after losing 3 people due to them and seeing all the new talent join.

clearly this was not the case.

now for some fun facts !!

- their company lawyer has an expired law license. he literally does not practice law anymore, yet he was our point of contact for any legal help we needed.

- they actively pitted us against one another during my time there, and compared our success to others. they tried enforcing streaming schedules so that our viewcount would look better due to less overlap.

- they would ALWAYS shit talk other vtuber agencies. they literally would spend company money to get a tiny dig at them. especially hololive, it literally lived rentfree in gunruns head. they were convinced hololive was over when they signed kson and nazuna.

- our previous talent manager got ghosted for 6 months by gunrun, told not to do any work for us and then got fired for "not doing anything". during this fiasco, we weren't able to get any assistance.

- MTD got reprimanded for being creepy to us. lol. got told not to message us privately. go figure.

- i have proof from other streamers attending their IRL parties that MTD would actively shit talk me after i left the company, to paint me in the worst light imaginabe. dunno why ur acting innocent on twitter pretending u werent aware of anything, can't wait to see all the shit that comes out about you because there's LOADS but those aren't my stories to tell.

thanks for reading and thanks to those who stuck around between then and now. thank you for giving me, silver and nyan the benefit of the doubt when we needed it most. 💙
