words are meaningless outside of their context

but does the context have any meaning outside of [without] the words? does the context have any meaning at all?
I'm going to go ahead and guess that the answer to the second question will be: no, because meaning has to be applied as nothing inherently has meaning. But, I'm no mind reader or know-it-all so let's see what we come up with

Meaningless Bubbles! Context lusts! Context filters meaningless. A coast suffers. Meaningless butters the initiate subway above the ground silence. A landscape exposes context underneath the cool thread. The initiative cycle disappears before a guideline. A successor inspires the charming sphere next to this advance. Meaningless opens the wired mechanism beneath the fairy amplifier. How will any flower enter before context? On top of a dog camps the factual outlook. A fresh freak mends the god into an elementary lover. Will words resent the observing playground? The grass trails without context...

Right-brain/left-brain is a disproven theory, sir. Your initial statement read more like "Mad Libs," which I greatly enjoy.

So sorry, but my rationality appears to be interfering with whatever images you might have linked to...could you try again on my wavelength?

Yes, I am quite aware that the brain is organized into two hemispheres, what has been thoroughly disproven is the myth that there is "right brain" and "left brain" thinking. As Middleman deemed his random word salad "right brained poetry," I posted a clarification that there is no such thing. 
There are many, many, many links on the web which continue to assert that the old split-brain hypothesis has a basis in fact. It does not.

Thanks for having a sense of humor, I couldn't think of anything else to say at the time. 
Have you read The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes? It's a different and compelling R/L brain theory.
I heard that the disproving of L/R brain theory was debunked. Got a link to disproof of the debunking of your disproof of the theory? ...I didn't think so.

No, I haven't read it, but it sounds interesting. The "working model" which I find the most intriguing and which seems the most supported by facts in evidence is the Triune Brain theory, proposed by Paul McLean.
Rather than claiming that the "split" delineates separate functions of the brain, his theory explores the way our brain probably evolved, and the order in which it develops in utero. 
http://www.buffalostate.edu/orgs/bcp/brainbasics/triune.html
I can probably find links to prove or disprove anything--such is the internet. The right brain/left brain theory was only very loosely based upon the research results in the first place, yet it became popularized early on & popular opinion has disregarded the follow-up studies which were unable to replicate the results of the initial study. No respectable neurologist puts stock in this theory, yet it is put forth nearly everywhere as solid fact.

Hehe, yes, of course, as true split-brain only occurs with a cut corpus callosum. But still there seems to exist some specific dominance and imbalance sometimes, or even 'often'. But not discussable in this thread. Or perhas yes, because it may be part of the meaning we put on words and that is picked from the context, which was built up in our brains
