          If changing one's mind is the anomaly, have there been studies done on why that does indeed occasionally happen?

          interesting there's no mention of kahneman and tversky given the overlap of their work on the subject

          Religion fundamentalism: Demonizing the opposition, fiction over facts, infallibility of leader. Trumpamentalist?

          Are there brain state similarities between a religious fundamentalist & a nationalistic Trumpamentalist?

          seems that the involvement of the amygdala would imply fear and survival responses blocking rational thought

          Excellent. I would say political context gets more air time than facts About Edison. Issue of topical exposure.

          this article: great example of typed sentences filled with facts but devoid of meaning.
