Well, yes, you are perfectly correct. Neurologists on measuring the brain of liberals and conservatives have found that the amygdala (the primitive brain) is far more developed and larger) in conservatives than in liberals. In liberals, the grey matter (the thinking brain) is far larger. Apparently neurologists can tell by the age of 16 whether someone is going to be liberal or conservative - just by looking at the relative sizes of the amygdala and grey matter.

So, yes, there are two sorts of people when it comes to where people function from.

Conservatives ever instinct is measured in terms of basic survival. They are incapable of complex thinking, so everything appears much more simplistic than it is. Conservatives are incapable of seeing the long term outcomes. They are, however, incredibly good at chopping off people's heads and going to war.

Liberals on the other hand can see exactly where things are going to end up. The problem is that very few have the ability to figure how a good solution for the long term. So they're just as hampered as conservatives. The only people who can really figure it out who highly intelligent liberals with whol brain activity - in other words, they see all sides of the story.
