We 'discover' that some people have mental disorders and cant comprehend whether they are male of female and whether or not they believe in God so everyone should be atheist? Not sure I follow that logic.
The regions of their brain responsible for logic don't believe in god. Your brain literally has to work against itself in order to believe. That is why he doesn't understand why so many people are religious.

This happened to siamese male twins. One head was gay and the other wasn't. There are photos of the one head kissing a guy while the other head looks on. Hard to wrap your head around that one. They also shared one butt.........and yes one male piece of anatomy..you can go ahead and guess what part but all kinds of wrong there.
He misspoke at 2:16 "Do you believe in God", the right hemisphere went straight to Yes and then he says the Right Hemisphere is an atheist and the Left Hemisphere a believer. It sounds like he got the Hemispheres confused. Whatever it is, this finding is remarkable and puts into question the concept of faith. The most hard core believer is a seizure away from becoming an atheist. lol
+NorthWest Gaming My point is that he said the Right Hemisphere believes in God and is an Atheist. It has nothing to do with controlling the opposite side of the body. Did you watch the video??
+pedrosura I also noticed something odd there but let it go and then, I read your comment and immediately realized that what I had found odd there was when he comes to the last question, belief in religion, he continues saying the same hemisphere that he was saying for 'are you in CA or are you a women' questions but raises the other arm to point to the audience than what he was raising before. Maybe, his "thinking brain" was too fast for his "linguistic brain" to catch up to the hemisphere switching and tried to retroactively correct itself by making him use his other arm. :)
there is something in the scriptures that makes this sensible. when Adam and eve ate the fruit that gave the knowledge of good and evil this is what happened this left right brain dichotomy between two types of thinking. one part emotional and one logical and this competing against a part he didn't mention the animal part
@@charmed0009Well know hack, if you choose to not believe in the police, you will never get arrested. Wtf kind of logic you have there. Nobody chooses what to believe in. You’re either convinced or not.
Hard question for religious people is why all these miracles never happen now that cameras are around. Yet we have plenty of fossils (which have been photographed) proving how humans came to be by natural causes.

@@Nowhy lack of what you might consider to be a personality, in my view also constitutes as a personality. Perhaps not a desirable one, but one nevertheless. A box has a content, even when it's empty.
@@BlacksmithTWD humans are not things! Especially not square things - which as a symbol would represent empirism. A circle would represent a worldview and there is no perfect circle outside of our mind (even PI is made up of infinite brackets). A personality is a whole that can't be changed from outside - a personality can't be manipulated, children can be manipulated (that is why emotionally, most people are as mature as children *cough *cough* Narcissism). Now if you look at the planet then you would see that the best understanding that we can come up to are fractals (algorithms) - fractals in fractals in fractals ad infinitum. Trying to fit the circle into squares is just silly but ideologies try to do exactly that (which allows them to look at people as numbers, statistics etc. - see Mao, see Hitler, see Stalin, see Pol Pot, see Imperialism, see Organisations, see Colonialism, see Barbarism). Makes me think of a song that seems to encompass all of today's youth: Little Eskimo Jesus - Keep On Trying Is it possible that you have no personality? If yes, than being honest to yourself would be a start to choose yourself and not illusions; if no, just keep on doing what you are doing since a child and that would be, imitate your parents, teachers and/or gods and repeat repeat repeat.. Socially, children only know domination and subordination and society trains them to only know negotiating (buying things for money). Only personalities are capable of freedom in the sense of thinking for themselves; originally, with a soul, with feeling...
"For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do... For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good. 19 For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice... But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind."
Depends on whether or not the left hand was either forced or wanted to make that action separately from the right. Which is what they are demonstrating in the split mind example. In a mind that it's whole and sound, then the idea is that you as a "complete" person made the decision. Cognitive dissonance is something experienced in a normal brain almost daily, and the idea here is that people who have had their brain split, experience that dissonance separately instead of simultaneously to the point where it can be determined what each hemisphere "believes". At least that is my opinion on it, I havent watched the entire video the clip is from. If I'm wrong someone please correct me!
so i have a question, dose using your right side body parts, or left side body parts affects witch side of your brain is more active or dominant in that moment ? (like writing,eating or drinking ...etc with your left or right hand)
It's actually a very EASY question for religious people....... to ignore. Just like always. All they have to say is "I don't understand, but I'm sure god does." And they'll be satisfied with that as a resolution. OR, they'll accuse you of being the devil, who reveals his true identity by trying to cast doubt in a faithful individual. Honestly, if it was so hard for a theist to confront, then why didn't the theist hemisphere in the guy with the condition find a problem with its position?
notcyndi I'll not ignore it. The physical body is a vehicle driven by the soul, which is in turn driven by spirit. Our souls are moving towards conformity with the spirit over countless re-incarnations. (On this planet and beyond, throughout the universe). Slight body malfunction (including brain malfunction) doesn't change this.
I just don't know that much about neuroscience, or the methods of the experiment, or even the mechanics behind why the patient's brain was behaving the way it was, so I'm not going to try and use it to explain anything since I don't understand it in the first place. Unless you are studying neuroscience at a university, then you don't understand it well enough either. It's funny how you try to shame theists for being honest about what they don't know.
Rhys F. The problem is not that they don't understand, but it's the fact that because they don't understand many of them consider that a good reason to justify the existence of god
Very interesting, the left side is the logical one right. I’ve always wondered this with people with multiple personalities, the conclusion for that is to be able to tell what they believe you need to fix them first but till then you can not know, but they still believe in one thing. For example I can think as if I was an atheist and adapt that personality and still believe in God
+Randy1337 i wish it woulda showed him after the joke where everyone was laughing. but it's okay, @2:43 at the top there is an equally funny chick covering her mouth while laughing at the top of screen
I don't understand - how do you "talk" exclusively to one hemisphere and not the other? How do you know you are talking to say, the left hemisphere, and how do you know it's the left hemisphere which is replying?
Put super simply - left hemisphere controls the right side of your body and the right hemisphere controls the left side. So when the left hand points, it is the right hemisphere doing the pointing. In split-brain patients, you can isolate your "conversation" with the left hemisphere, by only accepting answers from the right side of the body. *Again this is a simplification, but it should get you the idea*
***** "You will see or hear the question with both ears and both eyes anyways, so can you truly rule out that the one side is not influencing the other in anyway?" For people with a functioning intact corpus callosum you are correct. With "split-brain" patients though, each side learns on it's own without the knowledge of what the other side is learning. So "Does the right and left side also have a separate sub conscious?", Excellent question. Some say "Yes." And that is the point of the video. Which sub conscious does a religious person think is the correct one? Or does a second Soul inhabit the person when this happens to someone. "Most people are right-hand dominant which is actually controlled by the left side of the brain." - Yes, this statement is accurate. "So is the study really accurate going just by hand pointing?" - Absolutely. The reason is because we are talking about patients with a corpus callosum that is not intact. In fact, the results of these studies led to Roger Sperry being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1981. This is how much these studies had an impact in this field. It is truly amazing work. Some other key phrases to look up that you might interesting: "lateralization" - This is the term used when describing which side of the brain is better at certain functions "Diagonistic dyspraxia" - This is a version of Alien Hand Syndrome where one hand tries to interfere with what the other hand is trying to do. Example: One hand might be trying to take a drink of water and the other hand will try to swat the drink away. This field of study is still in its infancy. Not all the answers are in, and some current theories are sure to change and be proven wrong. But it sure raises a lot of questions.
The fact that this isn't just some idea or thought experiment and it's a factual account of real events should be extremely unsettling to all religious people
+Dillon Lee (Dleeisme) Just FYI: Scientific research is primarily recorded in 'papers' peer reviewed and published in 'journals'. The term 'science paper' is a perfectly valid one in this instance. Cheers.
How do you quantify whether or not the person is playing tricks on you? How do you determine whether or not the brains really are indeed separate personalities? Not trying to refute, just trying to understand. I know questions like that can be divisive sometimes. I would like a link to his published study if anyone has it.
+Troy Henry There are beliefs that are rational even if you have no material proof of them. For instance, all scientists in the world operate on the belief that the laws of physics are universal. Gravitational constant is the same in our galaxy and the next, right ? Well there is not a single element of proof that it holds true for the entire universe. Would you say that this belief is irrational ? Probably no (and neither do I), because it is a framing belief that not only does not clash with local experimental knowledge, but allows local knowledge. If we believed the laws of universe could be changed from one country to another, there would be no science because no experimental result could produce something useful in another setting. Same for Christian faith (don't know the others enough to comment). It is a framing belief for which you cannot demand a demonstration - but you still can demand rational arguments. Only, instead of getting arguments on how the christian faith can fit in a scientist model of the universe, you will get arguments as to how science fits in a theological model of the world. Btw., it is the same status for evolution (can't believe people are still fighting on this). It is *not* a scientific theory - especially it does not have falsifiability conditions -, however it is a perfectly rational proposal / model / paradigm within which we can develop local knowledge.
"There are beliefs that are rational even if you have no material proof of them." I agree completely. "Btw., it is the same status for evolution (can't believe people are still fighting on this). It is not a scientific theory - especially it does not have falsifiability conditions..." This is incorrect. It is a scientific theory, it does have falsifiable conditions, and the understanding we have gained from it has enabled us to create an untold number of medicines. The theory of evolution says that very small changes happen, and over a very large number of generations they add up to significant changes including speciation. This means that the "crockoduck" (look it up if you haven't heard the term; it's hilarious) would actually disprove evolution if it were to exist.
The dilemma would only be a problem for a religion that believed that the question of whether you go to heaven or hell depends on what you believe or what religion you belong to
The right side is emotion and the left side is logic. Emotionally, intuitively, or what our "gut" tells us is, we know that there is some sort of a Creative Source and one of the names we call it is "God." Our logic side says otherwise because it can't be proven with what we know in our collective conscious realm.
Your brain is very powerful it doesn’t control what you see and hear but it interprets it and if you have delusions of a magic man who you believe created you and loves you the placebo effect is a wonderful and misleading thing.
If your personality is in your soul and not brain like when people say about people with past lives then why do people forget everything or become different after head injuries? Could be easily explained but always wondered about it
I found this video eight years after it was posted. What disturbs me is the current state of "conversation" in the United States. There are an infinite number of questions that the Religious Right has difficulty with, although to them they seem completely unaware of any difficulty with important questions. There are profound challenges that the Religious Right has with reason and logic, though they seem completely unaware of any need for reason and logic. That might be somewhat fine if their Religiosity stayed at Church and in their homes. The truly tragic part is that their Religious Zeal is now carrying over into the political arena and the future of the United States of America.
It's clear all the religious people in the comments are adept at dodging hard questions. While the question of whether different halves of the brain produce different personalities in general require statistically significant test subjects, the philosophical consequences only require one: Will that one test subject go to both heaven and hell, or will he not? The consequences on this one person does not depend on any other. Nor do the consequences of your intellectual dishonesty at the feet of your God.
@john cameron Ethics constitutes a cultural contract for people to coexist. How one is compelled to act is subjective even if there is a God. When an external actor orders a person to do something, such that the person is forced to act, then the person is absolved from the responsibility of that action. That is not morality, that is following orders. Morality requires internal understanding, the feeling of guilt or shame should something be wrong. If you feel shame at the thought of killing, then you should do it even if God did not order you not to kill. You cannot justify morality with God, because following orders not to kill or being coerced by the threat of eternal hell does not mean you internally think it is actually wrong. By defining wrongness through God, you absolve your responsibility, and necessitate your immorality. You create your own sin.
Hmm... very interesting... so I'm only half way going to hell... 😆 In all seriousness, I too can attest for right/left hemisphere differences in the brain; I haven't researched this phenomenon at all but I've notice that whenever I try to sleep, when I'm lying on my right side (left side up), I always think more thoughts and hence struggle to fall asleep... While on the opposite side (right side up), my imagination flourishes, allowing me to start and maintain a dream more easily as I drift off...
Super interesting, more details on the communication part, what’s it pointing with? Why do we feel pain still? Can your brain tell you another way? Stuffs cool
Kevin John says who? This looks like an educational seminar. Do you suggest he report his findings directly to the local church? You can find many faith vs reason debates on TH-cam and none on either side seem afraid of a conversation.
Because each hemisphere controls one side of the body if you were to close your right eye your right side of the brain will be able to process what is being seen by your left eyeball (the eye that is only opened currently). A normal person’s brain would send the information to left side of the brain from the right side of brain via the Corpus callosum but because a split brain patient has the Corpus callosum separated the 2 hemispheres cannot communicate. Essentially the patient would have one eye covered and that would allow one half of the brain to work while the other has no clue what is going on.
One of the purposes of the corpus callosum is to connect both hemispheres. Maybe, somewhere in this structure or near it, the information that the hemispheres give gets integrated and, by that way, produce a single response.
@@RobertMOdell don't u pay attention? They jus told u that the hemisphere of the brain that is currently in control depends on which eye is seeing if u cover your left eye the right hemisphere takes control if u cover your right eye your left hemisphere takes control. It's not that hard to understand
@@elmoomle4565 science isn't "infallible". The method is to take a theory and try to prove it wrong as it is more accurate to prove things wrong than correct. I can not prove that there are no black swans, so I will repeatedly try and break away at that claim in case I do find a black swan, which we eventually did. As such science isn't "infallible", but it is the closest thing we have to truth and the more we have behind one theory the more likely it is true and the less likely it is to be completely wrong.
I take the position that faith cannot be explained - It’s exhausting to try. For me, I am a weak person in my endeavors. I find comfort in The Lord. I pray that all find peace in the Lord.
bee pot Yes, that’s true. I understand this. You understand this. But for a person who does not have faith in the Lord, all the reasoning in the world will not convince a non-believer. We can debate semantics forever but at the end, people are just going to believe how they want. What I know to be true is faith, and that does not sit well with some people. Explaining my faith in the Lord cannot be supported by facts. But hopefully, I can be a beacon for those who are in need of the Lord.
LV-426 Devasher I disagree. People go from being non-religious to religious all the time. From Christian to Buddhist. It usually takes a catalyst like a discussion with someone or an event in their life, but sometimes finding your religion is a life long journey. I would say that that person developed faith in a greater power. Religion is not something that requires facts because it operates on faith. The main problem with religion, namely Christianity and Islam, is that they are trying to force others to have faith in their God. Not all believers, but an overwhelming amount operate solely on "there is my god and everyone else is wrong".
"That’s exactly what I’m saying. And faith should never be pushed on others." I wish there were more theists like you. I'm an atheist and I have no problem with theists like yourself that have a belief, understand that it isn't something that can be proven or justified scientifically, and doesn't try to push that belief on to anyone else. I know there are many theists like yourself, but you are very underrepresented on TH-cam.
John Smith You Tube, Face Book or any other social media makes it extremely difficult to communicate in a meaningful way. (Pretty Ironic Lol). I just have to put it down and walk away sometimes. Take care.
The origins of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind is book by Julian Jaynes. In essence the question of a two distinct consciousness in each hemisphere leads to the question how and what does the mute right hemisphere communicate with the left. The hypothesis proposes that literacy enforces a cognitive tradeoff that limits the capabilities of the interface between both hemispheres. Similar to cognitive tradeoffs in the development of language between quadrupedal and bipedal primates. An illiterate brain would represent concepts and words in images rather than images of alphabetical and grammatical syntax. Such a person may be able to access a visually intuitive perception that is difficult for a literate person may achieve. This may apply to multiple stages of the brainwave cycle. Cultures that used entheogens could have honed these capabilities even further. With this in mind the question is how would this have influenced the stories that were told around the fireplace. It could explain the origin of early proto religious philosophy. In essence the mute right hemisphere is the voice of the God/spirit/devil co-processor an extended visual intuition. Perhaps there is a layer of reality that is not readily accessible for modern domesticated and literate homosapiens due to suppressed bicameral facilities. This particular video is fascinating in particular because the right hemisphere believes ( albeit humerously ) itself to be feminine even though the split brain patient is a man. Allowing some creative license in further interpretation maybe the right hemisphere and the left hand side is indeed the feminine side of the body. The right hand is usually the dominant hand. The liver is on the right. The heart straddles the middle but lies mostly on the left. The stomach is squarely on the left. This is particularly interesting not merely because of the symbolism of nurture. But because lying on your right leads to reflux as digestive juices roll down the oesophagus from the elevated stomach. The observant will notice lying on your left is generally more comfortable. So mankind has evolved such that spooning works best if the man lies on the right and the woman on the left.
PopTin That still makes no sense. So pretty much with a personality that has a "left and right soul", you'll be in two different places at the same time. The atheist side being in hell and the religous one in heaven.
Your absolute knowledge of what a god would do is mesmerising :D You know EXACTLY what the god would do regarding the souls and whatnot. So I ask you, What happens when people have multiple personality disorders (a real medical condition)? Do they get like a bag of souls inside them and each gets their 15 min of fame?
Wait, how does one actually ask a hemisphere of the brain a question, rather than asking the entire human? I don't understand the premise of his method.
Perhaps one side lies, because it doesn't like the ramifications. Can you test for that? Edit - To explain more: It would interesting to see what happened if they had asked these people "Have you ever committed adultery", or "Do you cheat on your taxes" or the like to see if one side of the brain suppresses things it believes deep down or not. This of course would be tricky, because you would have to know which subject was guilty beforehand. Also, some people don't care to cover their dark actions, and others do. So based on this lack of information, I'll dub the title embarrassingly stupid, because what we're presented does not address this basic, obvious question.
Even with a functioning connection between the right and left part of the brain, people are in doubt even when they identify with a religion. Either they express the doubt or they hold it a secret. If he believes in God or not is a decision he will make for himself.
+earvin agasan Ah, good thing I'm not an average Christian. I can prove to you that the Bible IS 100% scientifically accurate, and that the Theory of Evolution is not. Anyone up for a friendly scientific debate (not a flame war)?
As I watched this, I got a feeling I have heard this accent before. I had to listen a few times, and then I got it: Christopher Walken in one of his SNL sketches.
Well the joke was that the right side said God exists (which is the side of the brain associated with imagination) and the left side said no (which is the side that works on logic and reason).
Buddhism has its own hang ups. Some believe in reincarnation that is incompatable with the science of today, i guess because it was first thought about over 2000 years ago, when it couldnt be argued against.
Actually science doesn't say anything about reincarnation, if you think science knows what happens when you die then you are very ignorant. No scientist has ever claimed they know anything beyond what they know of this world. These people on your TV are not real scientists, they are people that got a degree to become a political talking head for atheism and try to use their degree as if it legitimizes what they are saying (When what they are saying is totally different from what their supposed field says). I am sorry to tell you, but science can answer everything of this world. But it can't answer anything beyond your life, and it never will be able to. If you truly believe you suddenly were born and exist from absolutely nothing and this is the first time you have ever existed in any fashion and you will die and go back to non existence forever then fine. But at least understand that is your belief, that isn't a fact.
Could be Yes+No as in, Yes if by your statement x you mean this, and No if by statement x you mean that. Clearly you are not familiar with applying different models under different sets of axioms. What unit is better to measure a distance, meters or inches?
Wait, this isn't even correct, about 60% of the left eye send information to the right hemisphere and vise versa. Basically everything you see from the middle to the left field-view is connected to the right hemisphere and everything from the middle to the right field-view is connected to the left hemisphere (in general with exceptions as it is in most cases of science).
I think this is a cool experiment that brings confirmation of the way we use our imagination, logic, reason and such. We all have the split brain but the majority is mingled and intertwined. This is why when the light has come in the darkness can't stand it. This is why when the TRUTH had come to its own it was unrecognized. This is the battle of the sermon on the Mount, the deny yourself, the pride vrs. the humble, the obedient vrs. disobedient, flesh vrs. SPIRIT. Two (flesh) hemispheres becoming one SPIRIT. Good observation. Need more studying. Did the guy think he was transgender with a laugh or was he just joking with the Dr.??? We ALL are definitely sick, depraved individuals trying to get back to the garden. Or trying to stay out!
No he didn’t... the right side of the brain is responsible for the left side of the body and the other way around. Just a heads up... I needed to do research too
Yannick Burwieck didn’t Harvard debunk the theory of right and left brain activity? Both sides are responsible for certain actions throughout the body and are equally involved for motor skills and intuitive thinking.
They'll probably throw out another baseless assertion, devoid of proof that there's two souls or spirits (or whatever off-the-shelf word) in the same body, thinking it'll avoid questioning and let them move on.
I think it is quite easy to say yes, they would, assuming they are both still the same person (which they clearly are). The distinction between left and right brain is that left is the logical and rational side and the right is artistic. In other words, the left taps into a more vulgar truth which can clearly and distinctly be broken down into single, indivisible atoms where as the right deals in manners which at this time aren't nearly so easy to break down, or a higher truth than the vulgar, which would explain its appeal to most people prefer reading Hemingway as opposed to Russell. Art and Science are both correct in their own way, but the art isn't correct because you can't break it down into indivisable clearly identifiable axioms (although one could note that there are proofs for god using this manner), art is effective because it appeals to a meta truth and effective art is an amalgamation and abstraction of both physical and immaterial reality beyond what is merely vulgar. In addition, it's an appeal to belief. The left cannot believe, it knows. The right can only believe, not know, based on their functionality.

We 'discover' that some people have mental disorders and cant comprehend whether they are male of female and whether or not they believe in God so everyone should be atheist? Not sure I follow that logic.
The regions of their brain responsible for logic don't believe in god. Your brain literally has to work against itself in order to believe. That is why he doesn't understand why so many people are religious.

Patrick Kilduff haha true!
Did you see Richard Dawkins in the audience?

Yep i love that man!
Sam Harris is a neuroscientist and Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist, so little surprise of their interests.
I don't know deGrasse's background.

Imagine falling in love with a woman and then the other part of your brain is like... "so yeah... I'm gay"
I have a riddle for you.
If this happened to me, both parts of my brain would be in total agreement. How is this possible?
@elize ross yes
@elize ross vagana
This happened to siamese male twins. One head was gay and the other wasn't. There are photos of the one head kissing a guy while the other head looks on. Hard to wrap your head around that one. They also shared one butt.........and yes one male piece of anatomy..you can go ahead and guess what part but all kinds of wrong there.
He misspoke at 2:16 "Do you believe in God", the right hemisphere went straight to Yes and then he says the Right Hemisphere is an atheist and the Left Hemisphere a believer. It sounds like he got the Hemispheres confused. Whatever it is, this finding is remarkable and puts into question the concept of faith. The most hard core believer is a seizure away from becoming an atheist. lol
lol I have a split brain. My left half forgot to tell my right half that he got it wrong.
+NorthWest Gaming My point is that he said the Right Hemisphere believes in God and is an Atheist. It has nothing to do with controlling the opposite side of the body. Did you watch the video??
+pedrosura I also noticed something odd there but let it go and then, I read your comment and immediately realized that what I had found odd there was when he comes to the last question, belief in religion, he continues saying the same hemisphere that he was saying for 'are you in CA or are you a women' questions but raises the other arm to point to the audience than what he was raising before. Maybe, his "thinking brain" was too fast for his "linguistic brain" to catch up to the hemisphere switching and tried to retroactively correct itself by making him use his other arm. :)
He didn’t misspeak the mixing ideas was the fucking point of the video
there is something in the scriptures that makes this sensible. when Adam and eve ate the fruit that gave the knowledge of good and evil this is what happened this left right brain dichotomy between two types of thinking. one part emotional and one logical and this competing against a part he didn't mention the animal part

Hard question for religious people is why all these miracles never happen now that cameras are around. Yet we have plenty of fossils (which have been photographed) proving how humans came to be by natural causes.
Darwinism is just as much of a belief system as other religious ideas.
Only one religion can be true ! . It's mentioned in three religion that Moses is a prophet of god. Adam is first human . Why they have to makeup same stories in three different religion if it hasn't happened ? . Won't you use ur logic ?
@@20secondsmotivation26 Lmao so religion is true according to religion 😂
Religions were most likely created from someone experiencing a drug trip before they knew what drugs were so it makes sense some people would interpret it as some supernatural experience and try to share it in similar ways. Either that or the religions derived from the same place and just branched off each other.
Until you religious people can disprove physical fossils anyone can go and look at proving we have a common ancestor you got nothing but fairytales.
@lSouljax I know. 0 to be exact.
@@20secondsmotivation26 you do realize that prophets of religion are real right? that doesn’t mean that the religion itself is real, I believe that Jesus and Moses and all these prophets existed, but do I believe that Jesus was the son of god and that god is real? Hell no

Indeed, the hereafter/afterlife starts now, not only until after we are dead.
The abrahamic god is a living god for the living, not a dead god for the dead.
Plus, split brain or not, many people have no personality no matter how many test/experiments tries to define them.
@@Nowhy
lack of what you might consider to be a personality, in my view also constitutes as a personality. Perhaps not a desirable one, but one nevertheless. A box has a content, even when it's empty.
@@BlacksmithTWD humans are not things! Especially not square things - which as a symbol would represent empirism. A circle would represent a worldview and there is no perfect circle outside of our mind (even PI is made up of infinite brackets). A personality is a whole that can't be changed from outside - a personality can't be manipulated, children can be manipulated (that is why emotionally, most people are as mature as children *cough *cough* Narcissism). Now if you look at the planet then you would see that the best understanding that we can come up to are fractals (algorithms) - fractals in fractals in fractals ad infinitum. Trying to fit the circle into squares is just silly but ideologies try to do exactly that (which allows them to look at people as numbers, statistics etc. - see Mao, see Hitler, see Stalin, see Pol Pot, see Imperialism, see Organisations, see Colonialism, see Barbarism). Makes me think of a song that seems to encompass all of today's youth: Little Eskimo Jesus - Keep On Trying
Is it possible that you have no personality? If yes, than being honest to yourself would be a start to choose yourself and not illusions; if no, just keep on doing what you are doing since a child and that would be, imitate your parents, teachers and/or gods and repeat repeat repeat.. Socially, children only know domination and subordination and society trains them to only know negotiating (buying things for money). Only personalities are capable of freedom in the sense of thinking for themselves; originally, with a soul, with feeling...
What a brilliant presentation!
"For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do... For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good. 19 For the good which I desire, I don’t do; but the evil which I don’t desire, that I practice... But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind."
should your right hand stay out of jail if you kill someone with your left hand
checkmate
OPBurst
are you saying he should go to hell?
Depends on whether or not the left hand was either forced or wanted to make that action separately from the right. Which is what they are demonstrating in the split mind example. In a mind that it's whole and sound, then the idea is that you as a "complete" person made the decision. Cognitive dissonance is something experienced in a normal brain almost daily, and the idea here is that people who have had their brain split, experience that dissonance separately instead of simultaneously to the point where it can be determined what each hemisphere "believes".
At least that is my opinion on it, I havent watched the entire video the clip is from. If I'm wrong someone please correct me!
Neither. Put the killer's brain in a jar and let the hands go free.
I think the Saudis have solved that question.
🤦♂️ Our bodies don’t go to hell. Our souls do. This question is useless. We won again. Next question.
Richard Dawkins is in the audience at 1:33
I’m Christian and I’m dying laughing right now, personally I don’t know what happens to the person.
so i have a question, dose using your right side body parts, or left side body parts affects witch side of your brain is more active or dominant in that moment ? (like writing,eating or drinking ...etc with your left or right hand)
I love scientists with a sense of humour, the ending was golden :-)
I would love to see more of that speaker.
Pervert.
His book, "Phantoms in the brain" is a fascinating read. (Ramachandran)
thanks! Just downloaded it -- with co-author Sandra Blakeslee
This was discussed by Julian Jaynes in "The origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind." In the 60's or 70's.
It's actually a very EASY question for religious people....... to ignore. Just like always. All they have to say is "I don't understand, but I'm sure god does." And they'll be satisfied with that as a resolution. OR, they'll accuse you of being the devil, who reveals his true identity by trying to cast doubt in a faithful individual. Honestly, if it was so hard for a theist to confront, then why didn't the theist hemisphere in the guy with the condition find a problem with its position?
notcyndi Or maybe they would say 50% is a past.
notcyndi I'll not ignore it.
The physical body is a vehicle driven by the soul, which is in turn driven by spirit.
Our souls are moving towards conformity with the spirit over countless re-incarnations. (On this planet and beyond, throughout the universe).
Slight body malfunction (including brain malfunction) doesn't change this.
bookdude explorer so is yours
I just don't know that much about neuroscience, or the methods of the experiment, or even the mechanics behind why the patient's brain was behaving the way it was, so I'm not going to try and use it to explain anything since I don't understand it in the first place. Unless you are studying neuroscience at a university, then you don't understand it well enough either. It's funny how you try to shame theists for being honest about what they don't know.
Rhys F. The problem is not that they don't understand, but it's the fact that because they don't understand many of them consider that a good reason to justify the existence of god
Very interesting, the left side is the logical one right. I’ve always wondered this with people with multiple personalities, the conclusion for that is to be able to tell what they believe you need to fix them first but till then you can not know, but they still believe in one thing. For example I can think as if I was an atheist and adapt that personality and still believe in God
A very interesting & thoughtful researcher ( by impression at least).
Is there any way to watch the full video of this dude talking ?

I don't understand - how do you "talk" exclusively to one hemisphere and not the other? How do you know you are talking to say, the left hemisphere, and how do you know it's the left hemisphere which is replying?
they can shut down any hemisphere they want
Put super simply - left hemisphere controls the right side of your body and the right hemisphere controls the left side. So when the left hand points, it is the right hemisphere doing the pointing. In split-brain patients, you can isolate your "conversation" with the left hemisphere, by only accepting answers from the right side of the body. *Again this is a simplification, but it should get you the idea*
***** "You will see or hear the question with both ears and both eyes anyways, so can you truly rule out that the one side is not influencing the other in anyway?"
For people with a functioning intact corpus callosum you are correct. With "split-brain" patients though, each side learns on it's own without the knowledge of what the other side is learning. So "Does the right and left side also have a separate sub conscious?", Excellent question. Some say "Yes." And that is the point of the video. Which sub conscious does a religious person think is the correct one? Or does a second Soul inhabit the person when this happens to someone.
"Most people are right-hand dominant which is actually controlled by the left side of the brain." - Yes, this statement is accurate.
"So is the study really accurate going just by hand pointing?" - Absolutely. The reason is because we are talking about patients with a corpus callosum that is not intact. In fact, the results of these studies led to Roger Sperry being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1981. This is how much these studies had an impact in this field. It is truly amazing work.
Some other key phrases to look up that you might interesting:
"lateralization" - This is the term used when describing which side of the brain is better at certain functions
"Diagonistic dyspraxia" - This is a version of Alien Hand Syndrome where one hand tries to interfere with what the other hand is trying to do. Example: One hand might be trying to take a drink of water and the other hand will try to swat the drink away.
This field of study is still in its infancy. Not all the answers are in, and some current theories are sure to change and be proven wrong. But it sure raises a lot of questions.
I'd like to see the method used for isolating the hemispheres.
Brilliant !
The fact that this isn't just some idea or thought experiment and it's a factual account of real events should be extremely unsettling to all religious people
where is the science paper of this story? Does anyone know?
"Science paper" wtf, it's called research
+Dillon Lee (Dleeisme) Just FYI: Scientific research is primarily recorded in 'papers' peer reviewed and published in 'journals'. The term 'science paper' is a perfectly valid one in this instance. Cheers.
They are more commonly referred to as scientific articles, which are indeed published in scientific journals.
Who cares what it's called, where is it? xd
So does anyone have a source for this Science Paper\Research\article\ ? No one has any sources? please provide. Thanks!
How do you quantify whether or not the person is playing tricks on you? How do you determine whether or not the brains really are indeed separate personalities? Not trying to refute, just trying to understand. I know questions like that can be divisive sometimes. I would like a link to his published study if anyone has it.
What larger talk/video is this from?
Wow...amazingly entertaining..now let me get back to my prayers....😂😂😂😂
When you pray you’re sitting on your knees talking to your closed hands. Nothing more.
If you believe based on emotion then the right one says yes if your belief is rational the left one will say yes. If both, both will say yes.
Wasiq Imran your belief cant be rational
Logical inference is rational.
+Troy Henry
There are beliefs that are rational even if you have no material proof of them.
For instance, all scientists in the world operate on the belief that the laws of physics are universal. Gravitational constant is the same in our galaxy and the next, right ?
Well there is not a single element of proof that it holds true for the entire universe.
Would you say that this belief is irrational ? Probably no (and neither do I), because it is a framing belief that not only does not clash with local experimental knowledge, but allows local knowledge. If we believed the laws of universe could be changed from one country to another, there would be no science because no experimental result could produce something useful in another setting.
Same for Christian faith (don't know the others enough to comment). It is a framing belief for which you cannot demand a demonstration - but you still can demand rational arguments. Only, instead of getting arguments on how the christian faith can fit in a scientist model of the universe, you will get arguments as to how science fits in a theological model of the world.
Btw., it is the same status for evolution (can't believe people are still fighting on this). It is *not* a scientific theory - especially it does not have falsifiability conditions -, however it is a perfectly rational proposal / model / paradigm within which we can develop local knowledge.
"There are beliefs that are rational even if you have no material proof of them."
I agree completely.
"Btw., it is the same status for evolution (can't believe people are still fighting on this). It is not a scientific theory - especially it does not have falsifiability conditions..."
This is incorrect. It is a scientific theory, it does have falsifiable conditions, and the understanding we have gained from it has enabled us to create an untold number of medicines.
The theory of evolution says that very small changes happen, and over a very large number of generations they add up to significant changes including speciation. This means that the "crockoduck" (look it up if you haven't heard the term; it's hilarious) would actually disprove evolution if it were to exist.
Wasiq Imran The left/right brain theory is a myth that was disproven years ago.
The dilemma would only be a problem for a religion that believed that the question of whether you go to heaven or hell depends on what you believe or what religion you belong to
Interesting video!
The right side is emotion and the left side is logic. Emotionally, intuitively, or what our "gut" tells us is, we know that there is some sort of a Creative Source and one of the names we call it is "God." Our logic side says otherwise because it can't be proven with what we know in our collective conscious realm.
Only because we have been told there is a god. It's not about a gut feeling but rather a residue of brainwashing.
Your brain is very powerful it doesn’t control what you see and hear but it interprets it and if you have delusions of a magic man who you believe created you and loves you the placebo effect is a wonderful and misleading thing.
If your personality is in your soul and not brain like when people say about people with past lives then why do people forget everything or become different after head injuries? Could be easily explained but always wondered about it
That went right over my head
Which part? The left or the right? :-)
I found this video eight years after it was posted. What disturbs me is the current state of "conversation" in the United States. There are an infinite number of questions that the Religious Right has difficulty with, although to them they seem completely unaware of any difficulty with important questions. There are profound challenges that the Religious Right has with reason and logic, though they seem completely unaware of any need for reason and logic. That might be somewhat fine if their Religiosity stayed at Church and in their homes. The truly tragic part is that their Religious Zeal is now carrying over into the political arena and the future of the United States of America.
It's clear all the religious people in the comments are adept at dodging hard questions. While the question of whether different halves of the brain produce different personalities in general require statistically significant test subjects, the philosophical consequences only require one: Will that one test subject go to both heaven and hell, or will he not? The consequences on this one person does not depend on any other.
Nor do the consequences of your intellectual dishonesty at the feet of your God.
Saying you believe in God won't make you go to heaven. Even demons believe in God and aren't in heaven
@@elsamp I think you responded to the wrong person.
@john cameron Ethics constitutes a cultural contract for people to coexist. How one is compelled to act is subjective even if there is a God. When an external actor orders a person to do something, such that the person is forced to act, then the person is absolved from the responsibility of that action. That is not morality, that is following orders. Morality requires internal understanding, the feeling of guilt or shame should something be wrong. If you feel shame at the thought of killing, then you should do it even if God did not order you not to kill. You cannot justify morality with God, because following orders not to kill or being coerced by the threat of eternal hell does not mean you internally think it is actually wrong. By defining wrongness through God, you absolve your responsibility, and necessitate your immorality. You create your own sin.
@Conan R Your parents aren't nothing, that's rude.
They excel at that. Screw the pursuit of knowledge, God's responsible.
Hmm... very interesting... so I'm only half way going to hell... 😆
In all seriousness, I too can attest for right/left hemisphere differences in the brain; I haven't researched this phenomenon at all but I've notice that whenever I try to sleep, when I'm lying on my right side (left side up), I always think more thoughts and hence struggle to fall asleep... While on the opposite side (right side up), my imagination flourishes, allowing me to start and maintain a dream more easily as I drift off...

Didn't get at first.. nice one 🤣👌
Makes no fucking sense
If two hemispheres disagree, then how is a single answer produced ?
Because each hemisphere controls one side of the body if you were to close your right
eye your right side of the brain will be able to process what is being seen by
your left eyeball (the eye that is only opened currently). A normal person’s
brain would send the information to left side of the brain from the right side
of brain via the Corpus callosum but because a split brain patient has the
Corpus callosum separated the 2 hemispheres cannot communicate. Essentially the
patient would have one eye covered and that would allow one half of the brain
to work while the other has no clue what is going on.
@@Skylancer727 which hemisphere controls the mouth , the nose, the penis, etc ?
One of the purposes of the corpus callosum is to connect both hemispheres. Maybe, somewhere in this structure or near it, the information that the hemispheres give gets integrated and, by that way, produce a single response.
@@RobertMOdell don't u pay attention? They jus told u that the hemisphere of the brain that is currently in control depends on which eye is seeing if u cover your left eye the right hemisphere takes control if u cover your right eye your left hemisphere takes control. It's not that hard to understand
have you ever given a thought to how inconsistent people are?Use your fucking imagination!
I didnt get how you could talk with just one hemisfere. Can someone explain?

You are correct: Never question the 'faith' of those that believe in the infallibility of 'science'...
Yeah, well you know, that's just like uhh a fact, man.
@@elmoomle4565 science isn't "infallible". The method is to take a theory and try to prove it wrong as it is more accurate to prove things wrong than correct. I can not prove that there are no black swans, so I will repeatedly try and break away at that claim in case I do find a black swan, which we eventually did. As such science isn't "infallible", but it is the closest thing we have to truth and the more we have behind one theory the more likely it is true and the less likely it is to be completely wrong.
I take the position that faith cannot be explained - It’s exhausting to try. For me, I am a weak person in my endeavors. I find comfort in The Lord. I pray that all find peace in the Lord.
bee pot Yes, that’s true. I understand this. You understand this. But for a person who does not have faith in the Lord, all the reasoning in the world will not convince a non-believer. We can debate semantics forever but at the end, people are just going to believe how they want. What I know to be true is faith, and that does not sit well with some people. Explaining my faith in the Lord cannot be supported by facts. But hopefully, I can be a beacon for those who are in need of the Lord.
LV-426 Devasher I disagree. People go from being non-religious to religious all the time. From Christian to Buddhist. It usually takes a catalyst like a discussion with someone or an event in their life, but sometimes finding your religion is a life long journey. I would say that that person developed faith in a greater power. Religion is not something that requires facts because it operates on faith. The main problem with religion, namely Christianity and Islam, is that they are trying to force others to have faith in their God. Not all believers, but an overwhelming amount operate solely on "there is my god and everyone else is wrong".
bee pot That’s exactly what I’m saying. And faith should never be pushed on others.
"That’s exactly what I’m saying. And faith should never be pushed on others."
I wish there were more theists like you. I'm an atheist and I have no problem with theists like yourself that have a belief, understand that it isn't something that can be proven or justified scientifically, and doesn't try to push that belief on to anyone else.

John Smith You Tube, Face Book or any other social media makes it extremely difficult to communicate in a meaningful way. (Pretty Ironic Lol). I just have to put it down and walk away sometimes. Take care.
The origins of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind is book by Julian Jaynes. In essence the question of a two distinct consciousness in each hemisphere leads to the question how and what does the mute right hemisphere communicate with the left. The hypothesis proposes that literacy enforces a cognitive tradeoff that limits the capabilities of the interface between both hemispheres. Similar to cognitive tradeoffs in the development of language between quadrupedal and bipedal primates. An illiterate brain would represent concepts and words in images rather than images of alphabetical and grammatical syntax. Such a person may be able to access a visually intuitive perception that is difficult for a literate person may achieve. This may apply to multiple stages of the brainwave cycle. Cultures that used entheogens could have honed these capabilities even further. With this in mind the question is how would this have influenced the stories that were told around the fireplace. It could explain the origin of early proto religious philosophy. In essence the mute right hemisphere is the voice of the God/spirit/devil co-processor an extended visual intuition.
Perhaps there is a layer of reality that is not readily accessible for modern domesticated and literate homosapiens due to suppressed bicameral facilities.
This particular video is fascinating in particular because the right hemisphere believes ( albeit humerously ) itself to be feminine even though the split brain patient is a man.
Allowing some creative license in further interpretation maybe the right hemisphere and the left hand side is indeed the feminine side of the body. The right hand is usually the dominant hand. The liver is on the right. The heart straddles the middle but lies mostly on the left. The stomach is squarely on the left. This is particularly interesting not merely because of the symbolism of nurture. But because lying on your right leads to reflux as digestive juices roll down the oesophagus from the elevated stomach. The observant will notice lying on your left is generally more comfortable. So mankind has evolved such that spooning works best if the man lies on the right and the woman on the left.
Slam dunk for the truth, this should have more views
He is dressed like a scientist.
Simply God assigns a soul for each personality, so you can have a left soul and a right soul as well as an arse'ole.
PopTin That still makes no sense. So pretty much with a personality that has a "left and right soul", you'll be in two different places at the same time. The atheist side being in hell and the religous one in heaven.
Oh, God can't do that? He can make people with split personality on the human level, but he can't split them at the pearly gates? Bugger!
Your absolute knowledge of what a god would do is mesmerising :D You know EXACTLY what the god would do regarding the souls and whatnot. So I ask you, What happens when people have multiple personality disorders (a real medical condition)? Do they get like a bag of souls inside them and each gets their 15 min of fame?
Each person has one soul. Anyone who says otherwise is heretical.
You just said it's a disorder. It's not the way God originally designed it and therefore it is still one troubled person.
Is that richard dawkins in the crowd?
Which of his hemispheres is working properly? If both are not working where he is talking from?
Wait, how does one actually ask a hemisphere of the brain a question, rather than asking the entire human? I don't understand the premise of his method.
For example, they can show a text to one eye, so only one hemisphere gets the information.
Perhaps one side lies, because it doesn't like the ramifications. Can you test for that?
Edit - To explain more: It would interesting to see what happened if they had asked these people "Have you ever committed adultery", or "Do you cheat on your taxes" or the like to see if one side of the brain suppresses things it believes deep down or not. This of course would be tricky, because you would have to know which subject was guilty beforehand. Also, some people don't care to cover their dark actions, and others do.
So based on this lack of information, I'll dub the title embarrassingly stupid, because what we're presented does not address this basic, obvious question.

No issue for Buddhism where mind and matter are considered to be emergent phenomena.
Buddhism has its own hang ups. Some believe in reincarnation that is incompatable with the science of today, i guess because it was first thought about over 2000 years ago, when it couldnt be argued against.
Actually science doesn't say anything about reincarnation, if you think science knows what happens when you die then you are very ignorant. No scientist has ever claimed they know anything beyond what they know of this world.

I am sorry to tell you, but science can answer everything of this world. But it can't answer anything beyond your life, and it never will be able to.
If you truly believe you suddenly were born and exist from absolutely nothing and this is the first time you have ever existed in any fashion and you will die and go back to non existence forever then fine. But at least understand that is your belief, that isn't a fact.
+Peter Sparks And what science can you cite for your argument?

The bit with the red top looks like an angry spartan
I would argue that it will depends on whether that person is “right or left hemisphere dominance” …..🤪
Dude was agnostic. Yes+No=I don't know.
Quick math. Skrra.
Could be Yes+No as in, Yes if by your statement x you mean this, and No if by statement x you mean that. Clearly you are not familiar with applying different models under different sets of axioms. What unit is better to measure a distance, meters or inches?
In any case, the question related to theism (belief), not gnosticism (knowledge). So even if your logic wasn't flawed the 'dude' would be atheist.
Agnosticism is a lack of knowledge. Atheism is a lack of belief.
How do they know what side of the brain is answering the question?
Because each eye goes to one hemisphere. When the left eye is covered, only the right hemisphere sees the question, etc.
They even mentioned that. lol.I wasn't using either hemisphere when they explained that.
Thanks.
Nonsense.
Wait, this isn't even correct, about 60% of the left eye send information to the right hemisphere and vise versa. Basically everything you see from the middle to the left field-view is connected to the right hemisphere and everything from the middle to the right field-view is connected to the left hemisphere (in general with exceptions as it is in most cases of science).

How does the corpus callosum get cut, by brain surgery?
I finally figured out what's wrong with my brain. On the left side there is nothing right. On the right side there's nothing left!!
That's pretty clever, considering your condition.
I think this is a cool experiment that brings confirmation of the way we use our imagination, logic, reason and such. We all have the split brain but the majority is mingled and intertwined. This is why when the light has come in the darkness can't stand it. This is why when the TRUTH had come to its own it was unrecognized. This is the battle of the sermon on the Mount, the deny yourself, the pride vrs. the humble, the obedient vrs. disobedient, flesh vrs. SPIRIT. Two (flesh) hemispheres becoming one SPIRIT.
Good observation. Need more studying. Did the guy think he was transgender with a laugh or was he just joking with the Dr.???
We ALL are definitely sick, depraved individuals trying to get back to the garden. Or trying to stay out!
Very true
Interesting, but the left hemisphere may not believe in motion either (e.g. Zeno's Paradox).
It's a small world... I wonder if one hemisphere believes in coincidences while the other is a fatalist? :)
So where is this person? How come there's no video of this extraordinary test?

RRRRRRRRIGHT! RRRRRRRUFFLES have RRRRRRRRRIDGES.

omg i couldn't even concentrate on what he was saying because of those fucking RRRRR's, so excessive
Is it just me, or did he misspeak toward the end when he says the right hemisphere is atheist?
I was looking for your comment! I am glad I am not alone. :)
No he didn’t... the right side of the brain is responsible for the left side of the body and the other way around. Just a heads up... I needed to do research too
Yannick Burwieck didn’t Harvard debunk the theory of right and left brain activity? Both sides are responsible for certain actions throughout the body and are equally involved for motor skills and intuitive thinking.

At 2:14 the right hemisphere believes and at 2:24 it's an athiest.
Quite the comedian.
so how did they ask each side of the brain individually?
They'll probably throw out another baseless assertion, devoid of proof that there's two souls or spirits (or whatever off-the-shelf word) in the same body, thinking it'll avoid questioning and let them move on.
Eck thoughts don't define your spirit. Yoga teaches you, you are not your thoughts.
And just because you answer a question one way when asked doesn't mean much anything if your actions show differently.
I think it is quite easy to say yes, they would, assuming they are both still the same person (which they clearly are). The distinction between left and right brain is that left is the logical and rational side and the right is artistic. In other words, the left taps into a more vulgar truth which can clearly and distinctly be broken down into single, indivisible atoms where as the right deals in manners which at this time aren't nearly so easy to break down, or a higher truth than the vulgar, which would explain its appeal to most people prefer reading Hemingway as opposed to Russell. Art and Science are both correct in their own way, but the art isn't correct because you can't break it down into indivisable clearly identifiable axioms (although one could note that there are proofs for god using this manner), art is effective because it appeals to a meta truth and effective art is an amalgamation and abstraction of both physical and immaterial reality beyond what is merely vulgar.
In addition, it's an appeal to belief. The left cannot believe, it knows. The right can only believe, not know, based on their functionality.
He's talking about "truth" in a human beings mind. We aren't certain with what we think, believe, and want at every moment of our existence.
Hey you're that dude who avoided answering GodlessCranium's question over and over video after video. Who are you to attempt (and ultimately fail, mind you) to answer this question, since you've demonstrated an enormous amount of intellectual dishonesty on your part over and over again? I don't see any credibility in you and neither should anybody else.
Mauritian Struggle Nice mental gymnastics, 10/10
Thnkss for your comment! You worded the faint mix of thought and feeling for me there. Allthough i would't say "easy to break down" or that its necessarily a higher truth unless you dont mean it in that way.
Utter shit lmao
very interesting
