I knew Liberals were born fucked up!!! LOL!

Study conducted by researchers at UCSD, Harvard
Researchers have determined that genetics could matter when it comes to some adults' political leanings.

According to scientists at UC San Diego and Harvard University, "ideology is affected not just by social factors, but also by a dopamine receptor gene called DRD4." That and how many friends you had during high school.

So people who have a variant of a receptor and were socially active when they were young are "fucked up"?

That would mean that conservatives have a similar variation of a receptor but were anti-social.....hm.
 
The causes worth supporting and working for are those that will establish peace, unite humanity and provide those less fortunate with a better quality of life so that they in turn can contribute to the mutual good.

far right and the radical right include nationalists, religious extremists and reactionary groups like, zionists, nazis, and neo-fascists like the religious right, and other r/wing racists are totally opposed to progress to a civilised world.

and genetics has nothing to do with that.

Be honest. The Far left is not about Progress either. They are about pushing a failed economic Model.

i have seen 3 of your posts and they are the same thing.....being a repetitious dumbass may be genetic....
 
""Be honest. The Far left is not about Progress either. They are about pushing a failed economic Model.""

The left wants to push capitalism.

The right wants to push communism. Look at the evidence.

The right wants to end all regulations governing clean air and clean water.
China is one of the filthiest countries on earth.

The right wants to get rid of the minimum wage.
The Chinese work for 51 cents an hour.

The right works to move American jobs to China.
The Chinese are working American jobs.

The right is anti education and anti science.
The Chinese are learning. Ok, they are different there.

Wow. This dopamine thing sounds bad! Is there a positive correlation with dopamine levels and liberalism? Hopefully you weren't born with any!

The far right is no government at all.
 
Truth be told, both the Democrat and Republican Party are both part of the political left spectrum. It is the degree of said liberalism, that distinguishes one from another.

As to the scientific hypothesis, I place no validity in it.

You are talking to a moderate right guy as you speak. Continue to block us all out and focus on the extreme all you want though. More power to ya.

I don't need to block out anyone. The right has already done that. There is no moderation in that party. If there is, they are keeping awfully quiet.
 
""ideology is affected not just by social factors, but also by a dopamine receptor gene called DRD4." That and how many friends you had during high school.""

so we have social factors, how many friends you had at high school and DRD4.

the research is seriously flawed.

how do you define a 'friend'? how many friends are required?

what are the social factors? what percentage of social factors to number of friends?

these are variables that are impossible to determine.

at least with dopamine we know where we are.

"Dopamine has many functions in the brain, including important roles in behavior and cognition, voluntary movement, motivation, punishment and reward, inhibition of prolactin production (involved in lactation and sexual gratification), sleep, mood, attention, working memory, and learning."

so an extra dopamine receptor is an advantage that may explain this....

Liberals and Atheists Smarter? Intelligent People Have Values Novel in Human Evolutionary History, Study Finds

Liberals and atheists smarter? Intelligent people have values novel in human evolutionary history, study finds

"ScienceDaily (Feb. 24, 2010) — More intelligent people are statistically significantly more likely to exhibit social values and religious and political preferences that are novel to the human species in evolutionary history. Specifically, liberalism and atheism, and for men (but not women), preference for sexual exclusivity correlate with higher intelligence, a new study finds.

The study, published in the March 2010 issue of the peer-reviewed scientific journal Social Psychology Quarterly, advances a new theory to explain why people form particular preferences and values. The theory suggests that more intelligent people are more likely than less intelligent people to adopt evolutionarily novel preferences and values, but intelligence does not correlate with preferences and values that are old enough to have been shaped by evolution over millions of years."
"Evolutionarily novel" preferences and values are those that humans are not biologically designed to have and our ancestors probably did not possess. In contrast, those that our ancestors had for millions of years are "evolutionarily familiar."

"General intelligence, the ability to think and reason, endowed our ancestors with advantages in solving evolutionarily novel problems for which they did not have innate solutions," says Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics and Political Science. "As a result, more intelligent people are more likely to recognize and understand such novel entities and situations than less intelligent people, and some of these entities and situations are preferences, values, and lifestyles.""

For decades, conservatives speculated about the distinct inability of liberals to relate "good intentions" with "results" in terms of public policy...............

This study confirms its a pathological fcukk up....................

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." Anaïs Nin


This is interesting on a great number of levels. Consider the conservative position on gays or crime. Are all actions determined by genes? Is personality a given? If so then morality becomes a tossup. I do think there are tendencies and like all things human we are tied to a body, a brain, a mind, and a cultural and educational experience, out of all those things form us, we grow or we die in all ways.


'Conservative thought will be banned under the new Healthcare reform act as so much negativity. greed, and self centered narcissism only leads to depression and grouchy, lined faces, and furthermore is in opposition to the general welfare clause of the constitution. Due to the widespread prevalence of Dunning–Kruger effect among conservatives and republicans, a healthcare proviso has been amended to the original bill. Don't worry be happy.' midcan5

The Political Brain by Drew Westen


"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations." Anais Nin
