It's interesting that brain damage or impairment reliably causes "liberal" and atheistic feelings in the laboratory.

- kadenshep 8y ago>reliably causes "liberal" and atheistic feelings I'm sorry, where are you getting this from? That seems contradictory to common knowledge in this subject, and if you want to do a silly thing like label certain behaviors "liberal" or "conservative" in the context of U.S. politics.
- rbanffy 8y agoI think it's a joke.
- kadenshep 8y agoI hope so, perfectly happy to have it go over my head.
- User23 8y agoDon’t shoot the messenger, I’m just relaying what the research says. http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0052970 http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal..... There are other studies that electromagnetically impair amygdala function which induced hyper empathy and atheism in the lab, but sadly I haven’t been able to find them again on Google.
- kadenshep 8y agoThat study doesn't even remotely support what you said. If that's all you can find you're basically just making stuff up.
- rbanffy 8y agoAnother way to see it is that we accidentally stumbled in a way to surgically improve the human brain by damaging the part that holds us back ;-)
