(September 6, 2013 at 1:01 pm)apophenia Wrote: I read or heard once that one side of our brain works at keeping our model of the world consistent and stable, while the other works at integrating new information into the model. The stabilizing side being the dominant of the two. I find the notion rather simplistic and unlikely given what I know about the brain, unfortunately I don't recall the source, so I can't determine what it was based on. If true, it could have important ramifications.

Is this the point that we discover that all Atheists are left handed or something?

I am, as it happens.
