Even when I cross my eyes, she’s still turning clock-wise. How long will we continue saying “clock-wise,” I wonder, in the digital age?

that would show teachers up for what they are, bottom 20%

Good point ... and they're Democrats, as a rule, too!

Does that mean we can genetically aim a plague at the liberals? Hmmm...

This pseudo-science is nothing new. I remember books like this going back to (at least) the Nixon era.

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

She keeps switching directions for me. Does that mean that I use both sides of my brain, or neither.

I see her circling both ways, and found I can make her change direction at will by letting my eyes unfocus and then refocus on the image.

I suppose that means I use both parts of my brain, but my first though was that she had a great body, so I obviously favor whatever lobe contains the dirty thoughts. ;-)

Yes, they are charlatans, and their goal is not “science” but federal and foundation dollars for their “research.” The American people remain clueless on almost everything it seems.

“Scientists have found that the brains of people calling themselves liberals are more able to handle conflicting and unexpected information.” The Los Angeles Times announced in an editorial that the study “suggests that liberals are more adaptable than conservatives” and “might be better judges of the facts.”

I intepret that to mean that Liberals are quick to judge books by their covers and accepting their initial impressions as “fact or truth”, relying only on preset personal biases without taking time to analyze the”unexpected” info more objectively and without bias.

She “goes both ways”, obviously.

[that damn ‘test’ gives me vertigo...she flips directions so many times I feel sick]

This is due, of course, to my infinitely larger and more efficient female corpus callosum.

[poor little unibrainers..they only see half the picture]

I’ve emailed you a box of crayons [8 pack...you probably can’t deal with any more than that] so you can express yourself more fully.

;D

It’s means you’re dangerously schizoid.

Don’t worry about it.

Ha, ha. The whole W vs M thing is probably just a result of liberals sitting in mommy’s basement playing video games. Say what you want it does enhance reaction times.

[ I intepret that to mean that Liberals are quick to judge books by their covers and accepting their initial impressions as “fact or truth”, relying only on preset personal biases without taking time to analyze the”unexpected” info more objectively and without bias. ]

Lieberals are more likely to colour thier thinking by emotional cues on if soemthing “seems good” or “seems bad” and a very scatter shot thinkers and this hurts them when when it comes to moving from Point A to Point B to Point C etc...

Conservatives are very practical process and linear thinkers in that in every step of the chain there is a cause/effect relationship or else it doesn’t make sense. They think in very practical terms that are based on real world examples and models, where the liberals will come up with a theory and try to “massage the data” to fix their intial scattershot assumptions.

Adaptable in terms of judging things is a code word for “relative morality”. It is like saying that because someone had a bad childhood and then killed an innocent in cold blood should get a less prison time than someone who had a great childhood and did the same crime.

This adaptability can lead to greater incidence of self-deception in the face of conflicting facts that don’t match your agenda. A judge who can “adapt” in this manner is an enemy of the rule of law as we have seen for the last 100+ years.
