Here’s a wisely skeptical article over at PsychCentral’s Therapy Soup about yet another one of those studies showing that liberals’ brains are different than those of conservatives.
According to what is known about the functions of those two brain regions, the structural differences are consistent with some reports showing a greater ability of liberals to cope with conflicting information and a greater ability of conservatives to recognize a threat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I share Richard Zwolinski’s deep suspicions over such studies. But primarily, I link to this because I’m the picture used to illustrate conservatism – me, that is, and Ronald Whatsisname and Milton Someone-or-other. Also, you’ll be happy to know that while I was on the same page with Che Guevara, I wrote “kick me” on the back of his beret.
