* Get ready for the Northeast Conference on Science and Skepticism, coming up in New York City on September 12!
* Study shows largest generation gap in the US concerning values since the Vietnam War.
* Chaos is good for your brain...
* Robert Wright has written a book on the evolution of god that is likely to upset a lot of people. So you really need to read it.
There's a fairly lengthy podcast interview with Robert Wright at http://www.americanfreethought.com/wordpress/ . It's a tad prickly at times.
ReplyDeleteI don't intend to read the book. It sounds as if Wright wrote of "higher purpose" or "transcendental reality" (etc.) when he could easily have chosen more banal terms.
1st link is broken.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the link has been fixed.
ReplyDeletelike the new theme!
ReplyDeleteMassimo, it says that I can't access the full New Scientist article about how chaos drives the brain unless I have a subscription.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm afraid they had the full article available for a while (the New Yorker does this also), then they put it in the archive and left the teaser out.
