What’s the difference in the number of neurons in your head when you were born, two, four, and a full adult? AFAIK, nothing. What changes is the connections, connectivity and size of neurons and connections.

AFAIK domestication syndrome (neoteny) should (does) lead to a decrease in size of the cranium, but doesn’t alter the number of neurons, in exchange for extending neural plasticity, sociability, suppression of aggression. So measure volume vs body size+weight vs calories.

–” viewers tend to care more about dead women than they do dead men”–
Correct. And the effect appears to have been constant across time and civilization, only countered by violations of male loyalty (betrayal).

The Left is less aggravating but their entire purpose is trying to evade responsibility and adaptation to the laws of the universe – unworthy, while the Right is REALLY aggravating but they’re trying to obtain responsibility to adapt to the laws of the universe – worthy.

The reason the academy doesn’t understand the ‘undesirable’ is that they won’t go slumming to do the research. I feel bad for the ‘left behind’ people regardless of their political orientation.

Because .. well, follow me a while. I can’t fit it in a tweet. Simple answer is: organizing a brain’s neurons so that we can act in social order is really costly, and tossing away that sunk cost is something we evolved to resist at all costs.

There is zero evidence that people are ever swayed from a moral bias. The are only ever influence to continue their moral bias, using a different method of argument or advocacy.
Why? Moral biases reflect our reproductive (evolutionary, competitive, status) strategy.

(a) conservatives demonstrate disgust response, not fear.
(b) the cognitively female means of evading the truth is to conflate approval with truth.
(c) the cognitively female means of deception is to respond to disapproval with GSSRM and undermining.
Ergo – non argument.

We don’t have ‘fear’. We have only disgust, disloyalty, and harm – the need to protect the gene pool, the economy, and the polity from harm. You engage in psychologizing (feminine fraud and undermining) and we engage in force (masculine suppression of undermining.)
