THE PROBLEM WITH CONSERVATIVE THINKING
Neuroscience shows conservative thinkers typically:
are driven by an overactive limbic (fear) system, seeing threat in neutral situations;
seek "strong" leaders that share their fears & prejudices & promise to eradicate "enemies";
are afraid of the unfamilar, poor at analysis &, hence, evidence resistant.
