veritassium did a video replicating a FASCINATING study that proves that logical people get dramatically less logical when they encounter facts that contradicts their deeply held beliefs; they get even less logical that "non-logical" people
so they don't consolidate the 2 sides of themselves; instead they apply their logic to the things that they don't care much about and get less logical on the subjects/topic that they care more about it.
Man brains are so weird. Thank you for that video!
'Man brains' is different to 'Man, brains'.
Man: Brains are so Weird
Also can someone help my uncle jack off the horse?

the part that's weird to me is that "non-logical" people are always equally non-logical and they're always the same whether it's something they care deeply about or not.
they never have to wonder about consolidating. lol
Ignorance is bliss right?
To me, that sums up the meaning of the eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The nakedness represents our innocence/vulnerability, so we as humans seek to hide it, in order to protect ourselves, from being hurt by others, especially those who have some perceived advantage over us. The garden was a safe space of ignorance. But it's illusory, and so I'm not entirely convinced the serpent (representing wisdom, not just knowledge) did us a disservice. But you'd have to delve into hermetic kabbalah to get the whole story. I've only scratched the surface, and that's over the last couple of years. Life has it's demands.
Yes adam and eve are a good example
