The Insane Neuroscience Linking Belief in God with Racism...

About this episode

The episode explores the neuroscience linking belief in God with racism and the implications of manipulating brain functions related to these beliefs.

The insane neuroscience that links belief in God with racism… A 2015 study used magnets to turn of the pMFC and it made people "liberal atheists” They became more open to foreigners and also stopped believing in God New Athiesm was huge at the time, so they thought they had figured out the “bug” in the mind that created bigotry which they could delete But there was a huge catch: this area is our threat and error processing centre It helped us see problems and evolve to overcome them - turning it off makes us incapable idiots Studies show that suppressing this area stops people being able to learn from mistakes and evolve Hardly groundbreaking, but there’s real proof that the woke liberal is the incompetent open minded “Last Man” at the end of history But what of the opposite? Increasing the energy in this pMFC made patients more racist and Godly… “God and Country” nationalists... They view outsiders as dangerous, and see God as a race supremacist with their tribe as the “chosen people” “master race” or “truthful ones” against all other evil tribes Based? Well there’s also a catch, this part of the brain is what produces cognitive dissonance… that’s the mechanism in your brain…
