Yes, liberals are much more biased towards facts than conservatives. Your point?

My point??

Firstly, bias doesn't mean what you think it means, thick as concrete son of the semi-literate masses.

So you don't know what point you were trying to make either? Ok Roll Eyes

It was highlighted, thick as mince son of toil.

Interestingly, liberals showed three times more bias than conservatives.

And then, being the thicko you are, you promptly misunderstood the word 'Bias' and came out knuckle dragging as usual.

You really are as dumb as dogshit you know that? Telling me what I think isn't an answer. Not now, not ever. That you obfuscate over your point highlights how pointless your comment really was.

The point was highlighted, thick as gutter mud bozo.
Then repeated.
You still miss it, stupid ratbags.

You're really struggling aren't you? Grin

I didn't tell you what you "think", thicko. I told you you misunderstand basic words like bias.
You also miss the point of a short paragraph even when it is highlighted and then repeated for you. So don't overestimate yourself - you do not 'think'. You are a thick, incomprehending, semi literate ratbag.

Here, word of the day for you, see if you comprehend it:

Bias
Systematic distortion of results or findings from the true state of affairs, or any of several varieties of processes leading to systematic distortion. In everyday usage, “bias” often implies the presence of emotional and/or political prejudices that influence conclusions and decisions.

So the point again, now with an explanation of bias:

Interestingly, liberals showed three times more bias than conservatives.

Do you still 'think' it means more biased towards facts, as you idiotically said?

Ah, yes - the old science of voodoo guesswork, eh?

If we take the square root of the round circle of data, and view it through a prismatic lens heated to the level of feverish brain activity, we see clearly, through a micronoscope of coloured lenses over our eyes, that the entire structure falls into the pattern of a web of deceit.... as such a ready market is available for selling such cock to the world as it currently stands ... we'll make a fortune and you will become the first professor of social voodoo!!!

Quote:

conservative brain is inflexible

The right Conservative compared to the left progressive is more or less defined in their names. Conservative is naturally less flexible to change than are progressives by nature.

Saying conservatives are less flexible is hardly an insult when they advertise the fact up front and proudly trade on it as a primary characteristic.

Don't fiddle with the controls when you have a slight rudder heaviness... just fly the plane and get it back on the ground. Don't try to fix what ain't broke - look at what the 'liberal' social sciences have done to us all so far.....

I don't consider myself in either camp - as the Rabbi said - thank you god for making me different .... and I have yet to see a social science controlled experiment actually work out without 'unexpected outcomes' that are often disastrous to many.

So, you could say they lack “free will” when it comes to their voting decision.

Reality, duckwit, demonstrates the exact opposite. All the 'progressive" socialist states of Eastern Europe crashed while 'conservative' capitalist countries flourish.

Conservative doesn't mean stagnant, monolithic. Loking after your garden, your house, your family is conservative.
Concreting your garden, neglecting your house, abandoning your family for a folly is progressive.

That is not what the paper says at all.

Conservatives find it very hard to change their mind.

That's exactly what it says:......Conservatives, on the other hand, exhibited a smaller ERN. This suggests that their cognitive system is more resistant to signals advocating for change or reconsideration. We can think of this as a neural reflection of their preference for stability, tradition and consistency. The typical conservative voter’s mental landscape, sculpted by a combination of genetics and indoctrinating experiences, values the familiar and reliable. Established norms and long-held beliefs provide a safe harbor in the face of a changing society and an uncertain future. It's a mindset where radical shifts or sudden upheavals are perceived not as opportunities but threats to a delicate equilibrium. Conservatism is essentially a neurocognitive inclination aimed at preserving the status quo......

If we are going town this road then I would suggest that so called 'progressives' have never matured mentally and have a childish desire for approval which leads them to blindly follow the crowd and makes them intolerant of any view that clashes with their own. Roll Eyes

Mothballs (Lefties) claiming science .....more like the discredited pseudo-science of Phrenology affects the thinking processes of those with an opposing political or societal view.

Who would have thought? Grin

“Conservatism starts from a sentiment that all mature people can readily share: the sentiment that good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created. This is especially true of the good things that come to us as collective assets: peace, freedom, law, civility, public spirit, the security of property and family life, in all of which we depend on the cooperation of others while having no means singlehandedly to obtain it. In respect of such things, the work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation slow, laborious and dull. That is one of the lessons of the twentieth century. It is also one reason why conservatives suffer such a disadvantage when it comes to public opinion. Their position is true but boring, that of their opponents exciting but false.”
