> No one has proven they take some special kind of intelligence
This isn't true. We have overwhelming evidence that these "skills" originate in different parts of the brain in all humans and if we disable those parts, those "skills" disappear. Those parts of the brain are unique and have their own structures. There is strong evidence that they require unique "hardware" and as such, are a "special kind of intelligence".
No we don't. Right-left brain thinking has been completely debunked, for example. If you've got links to overwhelming evidence (studies) I would appreciate it.
