This article is basically about right-wingers getting angry about The Odyssey while the film has done very well at the box office.

Maybe some right-wing people just like getting angry when there’s really not much reason to get angry.

    I was just taking a look at that. Well, not the article but the actual study it links…

    Don’t get so sassy, I think asking someone not only to read a scientific article to answer to your comment but also to go to the other comments to read another is a bit too much to ask. But I’ve done it anyway… and now I’m doubting that you did read them. From this second article:

    No differences in Anterior Cingulate Cortex volume replicated between levels of conservatism - in contrast to the original study

    self-reported ideology (single item) was not a significant predictor of amygdalar volume.

    So you take a deep breath and read more carefully what you post before making bullshit assertions like ‘With like two minutes of training, anyone can identify political affiliation almost instantly from a brain scan, with over 70% accuracy…’.

      Correct, this very much sounds like pseudo-science. I don’t even need to read the studies, all I know is that any self-respecting academic/scientist would call this out for the horseshite it is. If I didn’t know better, it’s a facist in a trenchcoat.

          Yeah I don’t read psuedo-horseshite. Let me come back sober and I’ll read it and deconstruct it. But I really can’t be fucked because again, you’re talking shit out of your arse…

      Weird…

      Personally I think it’s an entitled opinion to ask the same question some one else already has and expect a bespoke answer…

      Agree to disagree I guess

      Best of luck finding someone else to answer your questions. Frankly, it doesn’t matter to me that much if you understand, I was just trying to help you, and clearly you don’t want any help.

      And don’t forget, you started with:

      Wake up, babe! New phrenology just dropped.

      I gave you plenty of chances to learn

        Why are you acting like this? No one is asking you for your long-winded explanations. It feels like the only reason you’re giving them is so you can tell everyone else how stupid they are for not having the specific degree and experience you do.

        “I gave you plenty of chances to learn”?? You sound like a supervillain.

          Why are you acting like this?

          Why am I upset that people refuse to believe science when it disagrees with their pre-concieved notions and quickly devolve the conversation to junior high level personal insults?

          To quote Angelica Pickles:

          If you have to ask, you’ll never know.
