SIX QUESTIONS ILLUSTRATING LEFT VS RIGHT TRUTH?
(We have our crazies on both sides of the fence. So it’s a question of which side has more of what kind of crazy.)
Let me solve this pretty easily with a few questions:
Q: Does evolution exist?
A: Left: Yes.
A: Right: Yes. Or Yes but god still exists. Or Yes but it’s the work of god. Or No god just did it all.
Q: Will you speak the truth-before-face, regardless of the impact to others’ feelings, the status or competency hierarchy, and the subseqent social cost to you?
A: Left: No, that would be hurtful. Yes (Meaning, lying to avoid speaking truth before face)
A: Right: Of course. That’s the moral thing to do.
Q: Is the difference between the sexes a bias to empathizing in time, avoiding responsibility that might generate risk, hyperconsumption, and status by absence of responsibility versus systematizing over time, seeking responsibility even if it generates risk, capitalization, and status by responsibility and capitalization?
Left: No. There are no sex differences.
Right: Yes. Obviously.
Q: Is diversity a good?
A: Left: Yes!
A: Right: Within limits. Or If of races, but not culture. Or No, not at all – people are tribal, practice kin selection, vary in aggression and regulation, always self-sort, and proximity between groups always creates friction.
Q: Are there genetic differences between races, subraces, classes, and sexes that are immutable sources of our differences in neoteny, aggression, sociability, anti-sociability, intelligence, and that IQ and Stereotypes are the most accurate measure in psychology and sociology, and that average IQ is an accurate, and the most accurate predictor of every statistical difference between countries, from crime to GDP.
A: Left: No. And you’re evil for thinking and saying so.
A: Right: Obviously. How can you think otherwise?
Q: Are there Left-Right differences in magical thinking?
A: Left: No only the right thinks in conspiracy theories.
A: Right: The left’s oppression narratives are their version of conspiracy theory. Oppression narratives generally blame others for oppression when they’re just observing and adapting to the laws of nature. So the left hates the right as a proxy for hating the universe. And Sure, we have people that seem to believe in conspiracy theories pretty often. Unfortunately, other than the crazy ones, a lot of them turn out to be right.
