Socio-Pathology in politics ?

[Widdekind]

social science acknowledges universal psychological "moral pillars", including:

• harm / care
• fairness / reciprocity
• in-group / loyalty
• authority / respect

Amongst 'western societies', moderate-conservatives rank all those "pillars" equally (3 out 5); Leftists promote the first two (4 out of 5), and demote the last two (2 out of 5). Thus, compared to the moderate-conservative baseline, Leftists denounce "harm", demand "equality" (according to their own valuations), whilst caring little for established social groups & social institutions (which they denounce as sources of "harm" & "in-equality"). Thus, conservatives care more for (western) society:

conservatives are so much more generous than liberals, giving 30% more money (even when controlled for income), donating more blood, and logging more volunteer hours (Shermer. Believing Brain, p.234)

Ergo, Leftists promote anti-(western-)sociality, by appeals to "harmful inequality".

As remedy, Leftists 'promise the (new) world', via an "unconstrained utopian vision":

unconstrained utopian vision of human nature largely accepts the blank-slate model, and believes that custom, law, and traditional [western] institutions are sources of inequality & injustice, and should therefore be heavily regulated & constantly modified from the top down; it holds that society can be engineered through government programs...

it deems physical & intellectual differences largely to be the result of unjust & unfair social systems that can be re-engineered through social planning, and therefore people can be shuffled across socioeconomic classes that were artificially created through unfair & unjust political, economic, and social systems inherited from history (Shermer. Believing Brain, p.245; Greek u-topos means "no place", i.e. Marxism is the "road to no-where")

Ergo, Leftists identify themselves as "Top", "Big Government", Justified in experimenting, via social-engineering, with the entire human world population, for Their Benefit; Leftists dis-identify, with western society (which They "man-handle" via Big Government, with aim of "wiping the slate clean").

I've read something on this before, let me put it in English: Leftists have the ability ignore their primitive reptile brains. Glad to clarify.

If only that were true...The "reptile brain" is the part that keeps you breathing, you nincompoop.

It's also the part that makes you blindly follow strong leaders and respect arbitrary authority.

Thank god Republicans support Santorum and Romney....lol @ you freaks.

I am getting sick and tired of big government Republicans blaming all our ills on big government liberals. I wish Republicans were all for limited government, but they are not. However, they feel the need to lie about it.

Go fuck yourselves, you dishonest hacks. The right is some of the biggest proponents of big government. Stop lying to yourselves.

No, it doesn't, dipshit...The "reptile brain" all where all your autonomic physiological responses (the ones that are beyond your control) are run.


The next time you know what you're babbling about will be the first time.

You've been watching House haven't you?

I know my physiology, unlike you, boy.

Are you somehow not familiar with the concept of the reptile brain in psychology or are you just trying to be dense on purpose?

I know I speak in real physiology and not psychobabble.

Read and learn, boy.

The Reptilian Brain

TLDR, not applicable to the topic.

 

[Oddball]

If anyone said anything not applicable to the topic, it was you through your colossal ignorance.

You'd do well to get over yourself and grow the fuck up.

 

[occupied]

See there, a person who listened to their reptile brain might blindly accept your expertise where a leftist would tell you to shove it.

 

[whitehall]

It must be nice running as a democrat. You have no core values to defend and you can ridicule republicans when they fail to live up to "family values".

 

[Widdekind]

big government Republicans

both Major Parties advocate Big Government, in either the economy (D), or in society (R); only libertarians (honestly) advocate small government ("without the side incomes")

If you had the first fucking idea of what you're blabbering about you might be dangerous.

But you don't, so you're just an insolent, ignorant ankle-biter...Is that close enough to "shove it" for you, dickweed?

If they are able why in the hell don't they do it ?

That's fine, you are the one acting as if I am pulling concepts out of my ass when anyone can google "reptile brain" and discover that it is a valid psychological concept that has nothing to do with hair splitting off-topic diversions of physiology.

I know what reptile brain is, you insolent asswipe.

It controls your breathing, hormones, lymphatic system, adrenaline, fight/flight response, and a myriad of other autonomic functions and responses.

What it isn't is what some pseudo-intellectual pinhead academic, who needed some whacky basis for his master's thesis, in order to try and explain the alleged intellectual superiority of his socialistic politics, says it is.

And you're the one who brought up the whole subject....But trying to shift the blame is yet another common trait amongst leftist knuckle draggers, so it's not unexpected.
