Which Are More Intelligent; Liberals, Or Conservatives?
WHICH ARE THE MORE INTELLIGENT? Liberals, or conservatives? The best answer might be that they are of equal intelligence, because that seems to make the most sense. After all, large scale samples tend to yield bell curves. Studies have been done seeking to answer this question, as you might imagine. You can type in the question to google:"are liberals more intelligent than conservatives?", or "are conservatives more intelligent than liberals?", your choice. Either way, the same results come up. You might think that it depends on who you ask, and, to a point, it does. Rigorous scientific studies, however, indicate that, alas, liberals are the more intelligent, because conservatism, which embraces tradition, and the traditional way of doing things, is more in keeping with evolution, while liberalism, which advocates societal change, is an ideology which consciously rebels against evolutionary tendencies, and requires a higher level of thought to revolt against programmed thinking. The most definitive study was conducted at the London School of Economics by Satoshi Kanazawa, a leading authority in evolutionary intelligence. Kanazawa voted for the libs. We do notice that institutions of higher education, where the more intellectual, educated, and intelligent elements of society tend to hang, are overwhelmingly liberal. Conservatives often complain that liberals are in charge of the media, institutions of higher learning, and many of the most influential segments of society. Most researchers conclude that this is indeed so, because more intelligent people tend to ascend to positions of authority. Carter, Clinton, and Obama seem, to most people, more intelligent than Bush, Bush, or Reagan. The most intelligent republican president seems to have been Nixon, who, truth be told, was the most liberal republican president in history. Nixon created OSHA, the EPA, and other big government bastions of liberalism regulatory agencies, and, had it not been for Watergate, would have promulgated single payer national health care. conservatives tend to be more religious than liberals; religion s often associated with meek conformity, an opiate of the masses. The scientists who tell us that climate change is real tend, yes, to be liberal, while conservatives deny climate change, although often they have no scientific education. Those who resist the need for change when change is clearly needed cannot be described a highly intelligent.
