Researchers at Brown found that it requires conscious reasoning to decide that active and passive behaviors that are equally harmful are equally wrong.Obvious wrong is usually understood automatic, but when a person allows harm that they could easily prevent, that actually requires more carefully controlled deliberative thinking [to view as wrong], or HIGHER intelligence.Is this what parenting is all about, raising kids of higher intelligence? Really interesting study. Fiery Cushman and his co-authors, who were at Harvard University at the time, tracked the blood flow in the volunteers’ brains with functional magnetic resonance imaging scans.
