Ora è scientificamente dimostrato: la religione SPEGNE IL CERVELLO

superhongkong:3n0m15:curiositasmundi:emmanuelnegro:

[…] What were these differences? They consisted of what scientists call “down-regulations” in the BOLD response. In other words, when the subjects were supposedly listening to the words of Christians with healing powers, there was much lower activity in certain areas of the brain. […] In other words, there is some reason to believe that when religious subjects listened to Christians they perceived as being charismatic—even if the speaker did not make a special effort to use persuasive words or tone of voice—they actually “turned down” the parts of their brains responsible for judging what they heard and, in Schjoedt’s words, effectively “handed them over” to someone else.

Most fascinating of all, Schjoedt points out that similar alterations in brain activity have previously been observed in people undergoing hypnosis.[…]

Post come questi la dicono davvero lunga sulla faziosità di certi atei fasulli, che forti di una cultura da terza media, non attendono altro che l’occasione per sputare addosso alla parrocchia altrui per glorificare la propria (in questo caso quella comunista, immagino). E pensare che Matt Rossano in “The Archaeology of Counsciousness” (2009) sostiene che, nel corso della storia naturale umana, la comprensione dei rituali e la possibilità di ricevere benefici dalle cure sciamaniche abbiano rappresentato da una parte un sistema per selezionare le basi neurocognitive atte all’evoluzione della mente moderna, dall’altro uno strumento diretto per incrementare la propria fitness (fondato sul placebo, sulla riduzione dello stress, ecc…). Ma in effetti, da un certo punto di vista, chi ha scritto il post ha ragione: la cieca fede in dogmi ideologici porta ad affermazioni ed accostamenti completamente irrazionali, come quello del post in questione.
