Scientists Can Zap Brain With Magnets and Make You Stupid

Stream.org-

Here’s the breathless headline: “Scientists claim they can change your belief on immigrants and God — with MAGNETS.”

Wait. Attitudes toward God and immigrants? Are these a natural pair? The newspaper thought so. They tell of an experiment which “claims to be able to make Christians no longer believe in God and make Britons open their arms to migrants.” How’s it done? “Using a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation” researchers can “safely shut down certain groups of neurones” in the brain.

It seems to have worked. Volunteers were coaxed into having their brains zapped by giant magnets. And, lo! “Belief in God was reduced almost by a third, while participants became 28.5 per cent less bothered by immigration numbers.”

I’m pretty sure I can hit you on the head with a hammer and not only will you not believe in God and embrace massive immigration (legal and illegal) but you’ll believe socialism is the best economic model, global warming is real, and that 9/11 was an inside job.

In other words, I can make you retarded.

  1. I smell a rat
    I saw a discovery show a while back with a helmet that did the same thing only it produced an awareness of God rather than ‘Cure’ Religion.
    However, thought is the brain’s electric signals.
    It stands to reason that applying magnetism (highly organized electrons) to the brain will affect the electric signals. To what degree is open to interpretation.
    Although why you would do that is beyond me. Kind of like you hear your Private Parts are highly flammable, so you test that theory with a lighter
    Just like Cartman looking for the Brown Note, be careful what you wish for.
    Just the same I guess in ten years there will be catch and release vans hunting and ‘Curing’ Conservatives and Christians just like on Safari Shows

  2. I saw this article and decided to read the details a few days ago. Seems that it is only a percentage of the group who’s minds were changed and not the entire group. Also the change was only a minor alteration of their opinion. My first thought was they should change the headline to be “Science proves weak minded liberals do exist !!” Seems more to the point.
