I disagree with Mcgilchrist’s oversimplification, the mysticism he tries to defend with it, and the nonsense that people expound because of it . So I can’t really answer on those terms. I might say instead that the predatory response(hunt/fight)) is more activating when engaged, just as is the prey(flight) response is more activating when engaged. But it might take more stimuli override active predation(attack) then active prey ( flee ). And this asymmetry might apply to reasoning vs intuiting as well. I suspect my formulation is correct and i assume it describes what mcgilchrist meant despite his pseudoscience.
