There is an old technical term for the mental gymnastics practiced by
Joe Miller and his ilk. It is called, Bull Shit. No Joe, it's not
magnets that are a threat to the human brain, it is a mental condition
that is spread through listening to the likes of you. The cure?
Simply turn off the offending sound and turn on some favorite music,
or find a reasonable talk program such as Thom Hartman. It will take
time to put the brain back in good order if you've listened to the
likes of Joe Miller over months or years. So be patient and avoid Joe
Miller and all his Evil Demons.

A conservative radio host and his guest were up in arms about a new
study that seemed to show that ideology is centered in the a part of the
brain and can be disabled, to a certain extent, by lowering the activity
of that part of the brain.
Joe Miller and his guest William Briggs, a statistician and adjunct
professor at Cornell University, had a long discussion about the recent
UCLA study. According to a release by the University of York, the study
sought to understand how the posterior medial frontal cortex influences
ideology, specifically religion and nationalism.

Using transcranial magnets, the researchers were able target and
temporarily shut down the region. Subjects were asked questions about
death and to rate a negative essay about the United States they were
told was written by an immigrant. The result of the magnetic
destimulation of the area of the brain in question resulted in less
belief in religion and greater acceptance of immigrants.
This prompted Briggs to fear that the study would lead to “eugenics”
targeting conservatives.
“Basically what they’re doing is they’re trying to bring back eugenics
even, in a way,” Briggs said, his voice wavering. “Because they’re
identifying what they say are biological constituents for belief.
Therefore they’re able to test for these biological constituents.”
He worried that people might think he was joking or being paranoid.
“But no, this is exactly it,” he continued. “There was a story this week
too.. that some employers are now asking for DNA samples, not just to
detect potential medical maladies, but to look for these kind of
character traits they think they have identified that make one a lesser
person.”
The study, in fact, did not look at DNA looking for genetic traits of
believers versus non-believers. It focused on an area of the brain and
the effects of shutting it down temporarily.
Miller then hinted that the magnets may be used by transgender people
against people of faith.
“The whole transgender crowd, they see their main opponent as being
those of faith and so obviously they’re going to use any aggressive
tactics they can to move forward that agenda,” Miller said. “This is
still minority opinion though, right? In psychology and elsewhere?”
Briggs answered, no. “I don’t think it’s minority opinion anymore.”
