Basically, people who are asked by researchers to fantasize about coitus with a stranger become better at detail-oriented analytical thinking, while those who are asked to think about a romantic walk with their chosen partner become better at the sort of creative thinking which brings together disparate ideas.
Our first thought: This explains a lot about science-fiction writing, and especially about the math-heavy, research-based sub-genre known as (ahem) "hard s/f."
Our second thought: What does this say about the masters of logical, analytical theology -- the systematicians? Hmmm?

Oh, brother. You are bad. web
I just had two ideas rattling around in my head, and they magically came together. And in my own defense, two words: Paul Tillich.
Of course, I might have also asked what this says about actual scientists, including those who wind up in sensitive church posts. If you see what I mean.
