localpost420415dResearch has shown that right-wing ideology correlates with low IQ scores. https://doi.org/10.1016/...
food for thought. -
jestdotty434715d@localpost but all the researchers are left-wing so that says nothing
the difference between left and right is right has higher disgust response and the left have higher openness to experience
also strangely from anecdotes I run into a lot of high IQ people that are conservative. that may be due to them being ostracized in academia because academia is overwhelmingly left, so the theories that are most notable and rejected for no good reason are often from right-leaning academics because their co-workers don't like them and don't propagate their good ideas up the chains to where they should be going
also it is the right-wingers that are pro-isrsel, technically. and the left are pro-palestinians, considering the "war" you can think of these as two opposing sides, so technically he would be left and not right if we're going to be drawing lines on whatever "left" and "right" means. I've always hated those terms
IF I KILL ALL POLITICAL PEOPLE DO I NOT HAVE TO HATE POLITICS ANYMORE -
jestdotty434715d@localpost for the record conservativism/right, to me anyway, seems like convergent thinking
and left/liberalism is divergent thinking
for higher IQ you need both to be high and play off each other, people who are only good at one hit a ceiling and can't go any higher in their IQ scores
so there's no reason to think one or the other is gonna be smarter. chances are the people in the middle who listen to both sides are gonna be the smarter ones because they have more opportunity to play off both those thinking patterns
and the lefties really like to normalize everything, "include" everyone, that's kind of their game of openness to experience going rampant to "tolerate everything". so they are probably marking people who are in the middle as left when the middle people feel pressured to conform, hence the slight deviation
You can't hate Jews if there aren't any Jews.
Food for thought.
