Sorry and embarrassed to post this. The Scientific Fundamentalist: Liberals are more intelligent than conservatives

There are all kinds of extremely detailed and independent studies that confirm this. I'm only posting this one which isn't that detailed. In fact I don't think you'll find a single study that shows conservatives are smarter.


I report you decide. Enjoy


Analyses of large representative samples, from both the United States and the United Kingdom, confirm this prediction. In both countries, more intelligent children are more likely to grow up to be liberals than less intelligent children. For example, among the American sample, those who identify themselves as “very liberal” in early adulthood have a mean childhood IQ of 106.4, whereas those who identify themselves as “very conservative” in early adulthood have a mean childhood IQ of 94.8.


Even though past studies show that women are more liberal than men, and blacks are more liberal than whites, the effect of childhood intelligence on adult political ideology is twice as large as the effect of either sex or race. So it appears that, as the Hypothesis predicts, more intelligent individuals are more likely to espouse the value of liberalism than less intelligent individuals, possibly because liberalism is evolutionarily novel and conservatism is evolutionarily familiar.

"Black women less attractive"

Anger is growing amongst student groups at the London School of Economics after one of its lecturers wrote a blog post discussing "why black women are less physically attractive".

Student groups have called for the dismissal of Dr Satoshi Kanazawa, lecturer in evolutionary psychologist at LSE, and online petitions are growing in number as more people learn of the blog post.

On his blog, The Scientific Fundamentalist, Kanazawa claims that findings from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health show "black women are far less attractive than white, Asian, and Native American women."

Anyone care to bet zany didn't check into the background of his so-called "scientific expert"?

Now my challenge for you as a white man is to figure out why I have such an expansive world view and not assume I agree or disagree with such an assertion. Originally Posted by Zanzibar789

The "know-it-alls" like you, don't learn ... they just keep reporting "studies"....
without looking "beneath" the studies for their underlying sources.....and I'm not referencing the "publisher" of the bullshit.....I am speaking of the statistical basis and analysis of the data that is used to "create" the desired result.

Your current President doesn't it all the time. According to him the U.S. voters affirmed his policies by staying at home and not voting!!!!! Because he says all those who stayed at home were FOR HIS POLICIES.

So, I can understand what "you think you know"! To Whom was "he" talking?

Certainly not the "conservatives" who voted against his failed policies.

Here's a video of a Liberal telling the world five major reasons why Liberals are so stupid. Funny as hell but true.
