Politics is in the mind. Politics is fear-response.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

WHAT HAVE THOSE BENE GESSARIT WITCHES BEEN TEACHING YOU!?!?!

That study seems more than a little dubious to me, if for no other reason than the validity of certain ideas (e.g., internationalism vs. isolationism; govt involvement in people's lives) migrates in and out of the various wings. A bit too simplistic to me.

It seems like straight up liberal propaganda.

I wonder how I'd score.

At best. There was a study maybe a year ago that claimed that people who were bullies as kids tend to become right wingers. Totally groundless nonsense.

I love how academics get funding for stating the bleedin' obvious...

Man fears it, Man kills it.....Must have took 'em ages to come to that conlcusion

Don't think I'm scared of anything other than the usual concerns over family members and friends well being, so what does that make me?.... Oh, right! They may be onto something

It kind of makes sense along the lines that fear of death is a (the) main drive for human action including social contract. It also explains how stupidity, unjustified fear, lack of courage and blind faith relate to right wingedness.

What I want to know is this... Which university is willing to pay me and my team (address for team applications to follow as and when) a substantial amount of money to travel to... hmmmm let´s say Nebraska so we can interview FORTY SIX people about why some social backgrounds produce eggier farts than others?

I´ve allways thought I´m in the wrong job! They probably took two years for the research analysis on top! I just don´t want to know how much these SCIENTISTS get paid for this stuff
