Brain Scans Show Extremists Don't Use Reason

[AntiochusIII]

My God, I agree with Navaros!



Though, thinking logically, it might not necessary show a complete lack of reason in decision-making, since one thinks about his or her position only once in a while. For example, the sheep in question might already got an idea of what's his/her position on abortion rights is, and "reason" is not used when answering that question to others, rather, "conviction" is "used" to confirm the position with confidence -- emotions. Even though "reason" (messed up as it may) was used when thinking about that position beforehand.
