Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
Well, this is uncomfortable.
Forget crowd sizes — a new study confirms that conservatives boast slightly larger amygdalas, the part of the brain that plays a key role in identifying and reacting to potential threats, compared with liberals.
“A slightly larger amygdala simply highlights a brain’s increased sensitivity to issues related to [the] need for security, reduction of uncertainty and threat, or perhaps more careful processing of negative stimuli,” study author Diamantis Petropoulos Petalas told The Post.
The amygdala is about as big as a shelled peanut — and the difference between conservatives and liberals is about the size of a sesame seed, Petalas said.
Having a larger amygdala could be attributed to genes, the environment, or most likely, a combination of the two, he added. It is possibly related to a “larger proclivity for understanding danger.”
Petalas’ research, published Thursday in the Cell Press journal iScience, aimed to replicate a widely shared 2011 University College London study criticized for only having 90 participants.
I think we all understand what is going on here.
But what does the amygdala do, exactly?
The amygdala has a primary role in the processing of memory, decision-making, and emotional responses (including fear, anxiety, and aggression).
Hmm.
I think if the New York Post understood the racist and sexist implications here, they would not have published the article.
It’s very funny that we now say “race and sex does not exist,” but then say “but the groups with the most white men have better brains.”
