Yes.....they are....

Liberals Are Simple-Minded

 

[The Great Goose]

I dont believe that the moderate left are simple. I do believe the far left are.

If being more simple minded means liberals are more likely to accept a scientific consensus than conservatives, no argument.

 

[Mac1958]

The further a person moves towards an end of the political spectrum, the more binary and shallow their thought processes become.

The less curious and more dogmatic they become. The more tribal and simplistically/emotionally protective of their side they become.

"Side" irrelevant.

Which is almost self defining, really, isn't it. I mean liberals are more likely to accept the scientific consensus on evolution and the scientific consensus on AGW than conservatives, and have been [asserted] to be more simple minded - more than conservatives I assume - according to the OP.

And after all, who could deny that fact based reasoning is simpler than inventing fairy stories? Not me.

It turns out that liberals and conservatives are both simple-minded, depending on the topic under discussion.

That is rather simple minded of you to point that out...

You mean if they are more likely to confuse consensus AS science. Liberals run in a herd and only have group think to operate with.

If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't.

Did the OP read the blog post that he cited?

 

[Stephanie]

yes they are. And many not all, so don't get your panites all bunched. they are also shallow, narrow minded, hateful people if they look at their politics as their religion and these elected asses as their saviors.

 

[Wilbur Right]

Did the OP read the blog post that he cited?

Evidentally not. Or he wouldnt have cited it.

you just proved the point of the study. there is NO consensus in Science. at least that's what I was taught in school 40 years ago.

Except science doesn't operate by "consensus", if it did we'd still be operating under the notion that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Anyone that believes that the modern meme of "settled science" carries any real meaning is indeed simple minded and obviously doesn't understand the methods and objectives of science.

my gawd, we are in trouble when people buy into this being fed to them of how: Scientist are now the Gods we all have to live be.

Ah, fairy stories, you complex thinker you.

No one denies your ignorance.

Keep your sex life out of it.

Ah, more fairy stories. The OP is undoubtedly correct.

The Brothers Grimm could make an epic out of that one, you complex thinker.
