Even there half the brain was doing the real reasoning. It’s just the other half which was the verbal/story half didn’t know what that real reasoning was so made up a story it believed to make it fit but was different reasoning.
It’s not without reasoning. But half got the reasoning wrong; even if thinking it was right.
- vidarh 2mo agoNo, in the experiment in question, the experimenters made the choice, and claimed to the brain half that couldn't observe that the one that could made the choice. That is how we know the rationale wasn't the result of information making it between brain halves somehow. But irrespective of that, the point is exactly that it made up a rationale that couldn't possibly be true, and insisted it was. In other words, we have no reason to trust our own mind when we rationalize our own actions.
