The thing about science is that it is testable. It's the purpose of peer review and repeatability that keeps knowledge in check. Gods are absolute, and unless a God-like process is shown to be consistent then scientists will never be considered Gods. Merely extant observers.
I wish she'd explain or define 'sexual exploitation.' I honestly don't think it includes pornography... None of her articles are talking about pornography; they deal with forced prostitution and human trafficking. Which any sane person would be against.
I'm not sure what to make of Linda...
That's because the act itself is illegal. Where exactly would one find and purchase these 'illegal' productions? Certainly not the legal outlet that the vast, vast majority of pornography comes from. Underground? Well, you can find drugs, sex, killings, and generally anything else you could want...

Not lucky, rational. :)
You're right, it didn't. But it is implied. It's the reason Jesus is referred to as The Redeemer. Redeeming us from what? Being cast out and dying. This is just a semantics debate, and if you want to continue, I'll cede in advance.
What I was attempting to get across...
As to the OP:
Very interesting. Since the right hemisphere is usually associated with creativity and feeling, and the left with logic and reality, it's understandable.
The big question is why does one tend to win out over the other in a connected brain? Could it be as simple as the amount it's...
If you do have multiple personalities, the latter has never shown themselves here.
This, like most other things you imagine, is lacking basis in reality.
