Please stop. There is nothing special about lefties. We are just like everyone else. http://mentalfloss.com/article/84560/are-lefties-really-more-creative

I am left-handed. And I honestly tell you, that I really tried to be right-handed while growing up. (I can write with my right-hand because I forced myself during high-school) But i switched back to writing with my left. Other things I didn't even try to change, I punch & kick with my left, chopsticks on my left, etc. Because it felt so natural to me. But I still find it hard to believe that there are genetic predespositions and brain differences for lefties, even after reading this article. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-49579810

The Sensitivity Conjecture solved.
This article is a good start to inform others that there are other types of intelligence that are overlooked. https://www.techquila.co.in/the-nine-types-of-intelligence/
From my point of view, this list is still lacking. I think it lacks something about Spirituality, Wisdom, emotional, hustle -- these are still not recognized.

Would you drink camel milk?
I would. I tried soy and oat milk, and goat milk, so I'm open to other kinds of milk :)
Hmm...I was just visiting MIT the other day, and they come up with this:
