The evolution of political Bias by Jorma Jyrkkanen

A recent study discloses that Conservatives have a negativity bias. This has profound ramifications for democracy and for the security of planet earths ecosystems. Just how those operate is itself a potential PHd thesis.

I will be delving deeper into its ramifications. Conservatives tend to support religious ideologies which we have seen lead often to ethnic conflict. They also tend to support draconian laws, justice systems and corporate hegemonies. Its very likely that the negativity bias leads to Alpha worship and Alpha dogma wherein powerful leaders are revered and their dogmas are prosletized  over individuals and social agendas.

This can lead to kleptocratic Oligarchies, Theocratic Dictatorships and Police surveillance states with Right wing death squads. Its very likely indivduals are born with these innate tendencies and they evolved during times of warfare and environmental stress where great dangers confronted heterognous populations.

The embedding of enormous numbers of schizophrenia genes probably happened at the same time and many of these may underlie the negativity bias. Fearfullness and the great portent of danger aroused by  suspicion are the paradigm that suggest themselves as motivators for this gene set and these political leanings.
