The title gives a good bit away: Unanimous Union: The Mind And Body Together Lean Toward 'Truthiness': Tests on answering ambiguous questions have shown, among other things, an interesting human bias:
“These dynamic data showed that participant arm movements had lower velocity and curved more toward the alternative response box during ‘no’ responses than during ‘yes’ responses—suggesting that we experience a general bias toward assuming statements are true,"
Must think about that more in relation to "Did God really say...?"
And then there is the wholistic thing: body and mind seem closely linked in this.
Nous like scouse or French -oui? We wee whee all the way ... to mind us a bunch of thunks. Too much information? How could that be?
