Conservatives are the group most influenced by "feelings" rather than reason compared to any other group.
-Conservatives and religious people are more likely to have moral judgements driven by emotion and intuition rather reason.
-Conservatives have higher disgust sensitivity than liberals and are more easily driven by appeals to emotion especially related to disgust.
-Conservatives are driven by emotional amygdala responses, and conservatism is associated with increased volume of the right amygdala (whereas liberals have increased volume in the anterior cingulate cortex)
-There is good evidence that atheists and agnostics are more reflective than religious believers. Religious people have a bias for Intuitive Responses rather than cold reasoning.
Liberals are more prone to anedoctal reasoning over statistics. They deny biology. Let empathy cloud their view on immigration. Yeah, cold and reasonable

>Conservatives and religious people are more likely to have moral judgements driven by emotion and intuition rather reason. How can you make a moral judgement based on reason?
Carson Brown
No, there’s studies on how liberals and conservatives value empirical data. It’s well documented liberals don’t care much for statistics.

utilitarianism?

wow nothing to do with reason

Utilitarianism is a meme
Cooper King
I think this is true to some degree and it's precisely why conservatism is a more reasonable framework because it's more holistic and doesn't assume there's such thing as pure reason. Every philosophical project that have tried to explain the world purely through reason have failed miserably. Eventually, at some point, you always have to accept an arbitrary axiom.
Grayson Jackson
checked but you can use it to make moral statements based on reason, correct?
Brandon Bennett
An example of moral judgments based on irrational emotions is what is called "moral dumbfounding".
People are asked about an action they consider immoral and give reasons for why it is immoral. Every time each reason is knocked down, they pick another one, and they are deluding themselves that the reasons they bring up out of their ass are the real reasons they think that action is immoral. In reality, it's just an irrational gut feeling that they then try to justify with attempts at rational arguments.
Example: -Incest is wrong because genetic malformations -What about if they use contraception? Or if one is not fertile? Or if they are of the same sex?
>ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27054566 Metastudy showing atheists and agnostics perform slightly better on analytical tests. But it's a modest correlation at best
Literally none of these have to do with emotion + conservatism.

I mean, yes you can but the morality that would come from that would be incompatible with the morality we have developed and it could be argued it wouldn't be actually morality in the first place but just pragmatism. What is efficient in an scenario is not necessarily so in other.
Now, the real problem about a morality based in utilitarianism it that it requires an utilitarian way of thinking which eclipses all the other meta-narratives from which we can perceive the world. The effect of it would cripple most of our human capabilities, dehumanizing us.
Jackson Mitchell
> There is good evidence that atheists and agnostics are more reflective than religious believers.
True, but it has nothing to do with theism or atheism. A reflexive atheist is just as stupid as any fundamentalist.
People who are open to new ideas, who consider them and evaluate them in a methodical and consistent way will always rate higher on cognitive tests than people who don't. This is because they think more, and thinking is mental exercise.
You’re an incesterious autist. If you really want to know why incest is immoral you have to get deep into sociology. If every single person practice incest it would undermine and weaken the intergrity of our society. Families wouldn’t function well. Our whole society would be sick, and it would effect everyone negatively. If society can’t sustain itself if everyone does something then it’s not a good thing
Lincoln Long
I find the emphasis on intelligence test studies to justify personal preferences to be unscientific and fundamentally a disservice that will undermine and taint future studies of this nature.
Angel Perry
they also believe in retarded things like equality
Logan Hall
Try and show any black person crime statistics on their race, and youll probably get shot. Or worse.
Lol, have you ever seen or talked to a progressive? They are purely driven by emotion. I call bullshit on every single one of your sources
Justin Brooks
Right, because the main talking points of leftist political parties and activists are somehow secret now.
This thread boils down to a pathetic "no, you". Also, it's ultimately a strawman. Leftists might even be more reasonable, statistically. It's completely irrelevant. It's also highly questionable, given how politicised the academia has become over the years. This shit simply doesn't change the fact that they're suppressing reasonable arguments to pursue their political agenda right now.
Simply put, using this research as an argument simply proves that the person doing that isn't interested in rational discourse. Anyone who actually has proper education and has completed the most basic formal logic course could see that.
OP is fishing for brainlets and you took the bait.
Remove the meme flag faggot Also disgust is not a feeling as much as it's a survival mechanism.

There is no such thing as "moral judgements driven by reason"

Nailed it. Ideologues/religions/epistemologies can probably categorized and differentiated based on which axioms they take to be true or false.

If everyone lived in cities, then nobody would live in the country. If nobody lived in the country, then nobody would grow food. If nobody grows food, the everyone will starve. If everyone starves, then society will not exist, which is bad for society. Therefore, nobody should live in cities.
Xavier Lewis
Liberals are the group most influenced by "feelings" rather than reason compared to any other group. Specifically their own feelings. Virtue signaling, is a good example. "Look at me caring about these issues" but completely lacking any means or ability to do anything realistic about the issue in question. Begging for social justice, whining about inequality, because they care (feelings) but their primary agenda is not goal oriented, logical steps towards fixing the problem, their motive is appearance "i'm such a good person"
conservatives take a more direct logical approach to problem solving.

Shapiro spouts this "facts don't care about your feelings" line while denying race and demography. I used to be his fan, but he's a shill.
Julian Myers
Ben Shapiro has no right to talk about facts and feelings. He literally bases his opinions on religion, his views eugenics as bad because "it's not ethical". In other words, he DOESN'T FEEL it's right thing to abort niglets.
progressive shit is disgusting because the facts prove that liberals are sick.
Jacob Ramirez
If there is one thing everybody here who isn’t a leftypol faggot can agree upon, it is that liberals are retarded and impossible to have a sane debate with. They are notorious for ignoring statistical data (black crime statistics being a biggie), for sometimes just making up wild statistics (muh 1 in 3 wymyns will be raped in college), for rambling off topic to avoid answering a queston, or for just walking away. They’re also pretty bad about losing their temper and calling people names.
Austin Morgan
you're right man, we shouldn't live in the cities, a rural life is better for your health, and for the environment. its how we used to live, before you started fucking your sister, it was a healthier time. people understood what aorked for society and preserved it. if i know one thing about cities is that the weak folk living their breed decadence and incestuous relationships. i bear noble blood, yet i till the earth
Ryder Nguyen
Now I wonder what that would look like if you controlled for race. We've got an awful lot of Jesus niggers here in the States.
Samuel Mitchell
I think you are confusing lefties or liberals with blue-haired teenage SJWs.
Aiden Taylor
>implying there's anything wrong with thinking intuitively and emotionally Our intuition and emotions guided us as a species for thousands of years. It's only recently that "muh logic and reasoning" has become a virtue instead of a tool. It should serve to improve and heighten our lives, not quash it and make them empty and sad, which is exactly what it has done. We as a race are lost because we've had our true spirituality, interconnectedness, and way of being replaced with shopping malls and ethnic restaurants.
Owen Jones
>"Facts over feelings" comes from people driven by irrational feelings
This argument itself is irrational, it's an ad hominem.
It may come from a religious fanatic, a madman or your wife, but "facts should come before feelings" is a perfectly rational statement
Lincoln Parker
OP posted 5 studies so you should be able to post 1 right?
Ethan Lopez
There is little difference on a cognitive level. Some liberals lefties aren’t going to howl in the streets and sling shit, but their level of political discourse is still on the same level as the rainbow-haired retards. And if you think for a hot second these “calmer” types won’t turn you down for a job because you don’t “smell right,” you’re very wrong. They are aggressive in more subtle ways.
