By Adam Taylor I am fond of saying that “I don’t know who I am, but I know who I was as recently as five minutes ago.”  American culture spends an inordinate amount of time telling us to “find” or “know” ourselves.  More on why that is bullshit in a minute. I spent the first two-thirds of my life trying to understand myself.  I studied psychology because it seemed like

Well, I can't really think of a better way to ease into this so here goes: Left Hemispheres is ending. Not only the podcast, but the blog will no longer be active within the next week. We'll talk about what brought about this decision, our reactions to it and what we'll all be doing moving forward in the forthcoming Episode #20 of the LH podcast (out in the next few days), but I wanted to

The following quotes can be found in an article entitled Intolerant Atheists Viciously Attack Christian School on Answers In Genesis (the creationist site run by Ken Hamm). This is their response to the widely circulated "science" quiz from a Christian school in North Carolina.

This is actually Part 2 in this series, but this one focuses on inducing a religious experience in a self-avowed atheist. The point is to explore how humans are hardwired for belief in the supernatural and how that leaves us prone to religious belief. Videos via ErmmTV.

On March 25th, 2013, Nick interviewed Hemant Mehta at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.  Hemant had been invited by the IUP Secular Student Alliance to speak about what an atheist, and particularly a young atheist, must deal with in the U.S.  More details, and a video of the talk can be seen here.  More from Hemant can be found on his blog, Friendly Atheist.

This may come as a shock to you, but we are media addicts here at LH.  So when something as historic as two Supreme Court hearings about same sex marriage hits the internet we tend to read an unhealthy amount of articles.  Here’s just a few from our culturally biased, although morally justifiable perspective.  Followed by the fearful reactions of those opposing SSM.

Wouldn’t it be great if there were only one dictionary?  You could make it available online and everybody could agree on the definitions of words.  Sure, new things are invented every now and then but the advertising agencies of the world can just use the words we have with literal meanings for their products.  Honestly, do we need to call a book reading machine a Kindle?
