Scientific Proof: Liberals Are Smarter Than Conservatives
March 20, 2014
Mindy Fischer
Several studies have found that Liberals have larger and more active anterior cingulate cortex, or ACC, than our Conservative counterparts. And while they are lacking in the ACC department, they actually have larger amygdala than we do.
Now What Do These Brain Parts Do??
First the Libs….
Basically, the more developed ACC allows the Liberal to be a better problem solver. It helps us to cipher through difficult information and make educated decisions. According to scientists, Liberal brain chemistry allows us to monitor conflict, detect errors, and we are more likely to
“respond to informational complexity, ambiguity, and novelty. Liberals, according to this model, would be likely to engage in more flexible thinking, working through alternate possibilities before committing to a choice. Even after committing, if alternate contradicting data comes along, they would be more likely to consider it. This is how science works, and why there might be so many correlations between scientific beliefs.â€
Now the Cons…
The Conservatives on the other hand have a more developed center of emotion with the amygdala. It is said to be the center for fear, so with such an enlarged and heightened amygdala, much of what they do and how they react to most situations comes from basic fear response. Discover magazine also says,
“Conservatives respond to threatening situations with more aggression than do liberals and are more sensitive to threatening facial expressions.â€
“So, when faced with an ambiguous situation, conservatives would tend to process the information initially with a strong emotional response. This would make them less likely to lean towards change, and more likely to prefer stability. Stability means more predictability, which means more expected outcomes, and less of a trigger for anxiety.â€
So, basically what this all means is that they are just plain scared. And how can you relax and laugh and find humor in things that are genuinely funny when you are scared shitless all the time?? I mean, come on. We’d probably be a little grumpy too if we were born with Conservative brains, right?
Well, I hate to rub salt in an already irritable righty wound, but I have a feeling that I know something that will make you and I smile, but likely will only deepen the frowns to our right. Since that Obama-Galifinakis piece, web traffic to healthcare.gov has increased by 40 percent. And you know what else? Despite all of the lovely comparisons with Nazism and slavery, Obamacare is right on track to meet even the most optimistic enrollment estimations made one year ago.
Have a fabulous day lefties!!

And as soon as you leave that thread you will return to the rest of the DU forum wherein we are told that:
CONSERVATIVES:
* are all rich
* have all the power
* own everything
* control all media
* continually thwart the liberals' best laid plans
LIBERALS:
* can't work because of their Ass-Burgers syndrome
* feel frightened and intimidated because somewhere, someone they will never meet owns a gun
* consider dissenting opinions to be efforts to silence and harass them
* can't argue a rational point but rely on emotionally charged epithets such as racist, misogynist, homophobe, etc.

3. Conservatives lack a sense of humor because they are stupid
I have always believed that the lack of a sense humor by conservatives showed their lack of intelligence

5. Sorry, but I'm going to take issue with this.
Setting aside that there is no such thing as "scientific proof" (the concept of proof only exists in math, law, and philosophy), using science to beat down on other human beings is one of the worst perversions of science in human history.
There are studies that show different brain functions in different people. Attaching negative connotations to that ("stupid", "inferior") is not what science is about.
At least we'll always have global warming.

Sounds like DUmmie sanitarynapkinz got it BACKWARDS, AGAIN!
No f'n way a libturd is smarter than the least intelligent conservative.
Exibit A: Barry Obama
'Nuff said.

This nonsense has been floating around the Internet for years and this self anointed smartest person in the room has just discovered the tripe.
As for the last sentence...
I have no doubt at all the administration will claim to have at least 6.5 million Ocare signups.
It is a given with the ease they lie.
They will also say they have no idea about payments,demographics,previously insured status,etc...
The only ones who will believe it however are you leftist kooks.

Exactly!
If you've ever read the napkinz primitives posts, for the most part they all are C&P's of posters or cartoons or other visual stimulus off facebook (or wherever else the dolt gets them from) about how Republicans are evil. That's all it can do.
I would call Mindy Fischer a mental midget, but that would be an insult to mental midgets.

From the wiki: The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex that resembles a "collar" surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. It consists of Brodmann areas 24, 32, and 33. It appears to play a role in a wide variety of autonomic functions, such as regulating blood pressure and heart rate. It is also involved in rational cognitive functions, such as reward anticipation, decision-making, empathy, impulse control, and emotion.
Reward anticipation = waiting for a handout?
Emotion = being pissy and hateful all of the time?

Common Core: Proof liberals are dumber than conservatives.
No truer words have been spoken.
-
What's the research say? We only use 8-10% percent of our cranial capacity, or something like that. Well, in the ACC:
It is also involved in rational cognitive functions, such as reward anticipation, decision-making, empathy, impulse control, and emotion.
There's your 10%, (D)Ullards. Be happy, little fascists. I'm giving you a huge benefit of the doubt.
-
Proof that liberals are stupid is the ability to hold two opposing views without conflict is affirmative action and diversity.
-
Now What Do These Brain Parts Do??...
A little research into what these brain parts do will show that the article is so slanted as to reverse the actual functions of the ACC and amygdala. It's been a while since I looked into this, but it was more on the order that liberals respond to emotion and can't foresee possible problems, while conservatives respond to reason and have a better ability to foresee likely future results.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the studies were commissioned by libs, produced by libs with participants being 100 percent liberal.

If they're so smart, why do they have so much insanity and trouble in their lives?
Enquiring minds don't want to know.

Considering that every time we have to, the DUmbshits routinely plant their fingers in their ears, :lalala: I think you can do the math from here... :cheersmate:

Unless, of course, you are talking about man made glo-bull warming/climate change. That bit of science is settled no matter how many times it is shown that the data it is based upon is crap.

In the engineering field, where science has to actually work, 90%+ are conservatives except for software programmers.
I think that the the DUchebags are beginning to see the bloodbath that is going to be November 2014. We are going to see a lot of fake studies, stories from far left-wing rags, and bouncys about how much smarter leftists are than conservatives.

They can be as smart as ever.
But they'll still lose control of the Senate.

As the OP pretty much stated at the end of the post.
How are we so stupid yet run this global empire that rules everything in the world. How did Bush and his cronies mastermind 9/11 to the point not one witness (there would have been 1000's) has ever spoken out about things like planting explosives on the towers, taking down the planes, etc... YES WE SO DUMB!!! Either we are ****ing brilliant or we are ****ing idiots make up your ****ing little pea brained minds. This post alone shows how you can not even decide one way or the other on anything and how ****ed up and ever changing your ideology is.

Let me get this right. Libtards are sooo smart they have to use child-like cartoons in an attempt to show their superiority.
Ok, got it.
:thatsright:

They're long overdue for one of their fabled "IQ" checks, where every one of them has an IQ over 146. I love those.
