connected to each other and are good at details. People on that side of the spectrum are good at analysis. Dyslexics have greater mini columns in the brain and they are holistically connected all over the brain. They are good at synthesis or unsynthesis. That is what Trump is doing as a dyslexic. Unsynthesizing democracy and synthesizing some other form of authoritarian governance. We've spent 10 000 years building democracy. Trump is going way back in time to some transactional way of governing. And democracies crumble even more when their is corruption.
