re: #84 LudwigVanQuixote

So did I mention that I have a page up about two peer reviewed papers that claim that conservatives are brain damaged?

Peer reviewed cognitive science studies find deficiencies hardwired in conservative brains.

disclaimer: This is meant to be a fun post. The possible flaws with the papers I list are real problems. Don’t let my enjoyment of a bit of snark fool you. I am not strongly positing this scientifically as a general result I accept or arguing that you should take it seriously without a very large grain of salt.

That said:

According to these two studies:

1. Conservatives have larger fear centers.
2. Conservatives have lesser developed centers associated with courage and optimism.
3. Conservatives lack a receptor associated with being able to process novel ideas. Also those who might have been liberal needed active social lives to activate a certain gene for certain neuro-receptors - so some fair number of conservatives wouldn’t be that way if only they had gotten laid a little when they were younger.

This was always my favorite interesting political post You can’t argue with conservatives…
