My daughter has face blindness. She could not recognize classmates or teachers. She also has autism so she leads a lonely life.

This was a good episode. Shes very interesting! i've had a lot of those moments where i do locate "friend shaped person" in huge crowds faster than people who need a face to find someone. People have distinctive walks and mannerisms that are super easy to spot a personality. Shows like the MaskedSinger wouldn't work on me if i knew at all the person in my personal life.

I have a mild version of this. It made me a terrible waitress. I now approach everyone I meet as if I know them and remember them fondly. It's to save me from unintentionally hurting anyone's feelings, but it just makes me seem super friendly 😂

I have never heard a debate on the liberal brain vs. conservative brain that was anything other than pure conjecture. The very concept of liberal vs. conservative seems like a false dichotomy. How do you define either of these in an objective sense? Liberal from many years ago would be considered conservative by today's standards. It seems that time plays a bigger role in the definition of conservative than any real political ideology. When I hear the word "conservative," all that comes to my mind is "old fashioned."

The problem that young conservative men face in a global culture is their inability to fulfill the instinctive drive to find a clearly defined group to belong to, which leaves them feeling endangered. "Virtual groups" (mediated by the internet) are insufficient to satisfy this need. Access to a group must be established through rites of passage. The effect of influencers is quite pernicious because they emphasize that women are not part of their group and must be dominated. Failing to satisfy two vital instinctual drives-social belonging and sexual activity-results in highly dissatisfied individuals who are extremely vulnerable to manipulation.

A conservative is an individual who needs the security of belonging to a clearly defined group. The common expression of this trait is racism, xenophobia, and misogyny (strangely, there are men who consider women not to be part of their group). They tend to keep the gene pool closed. Their empathy only extends to those in their group, and they only recognize injustices suffered by that group. A progressive, on the other hand, is someone who does not limit their empathy to a specific group and is willing to risk cooperating with unknown individuals. They do not restrict the gene pool. They are more adventurous. In my opinion, these types of behaviors reflect different neurological patterns (to some degree), and I assume that a balance of these types of individuals favored survival during our evolution. But this is just a hypothetical interpretation.

What does being very bothered by injustice correlate to? This doesn’t really seem very related to fear response.

My impression is that conservatives are no longer attentive to dangers in the environment. Most conservatives reject all forms of regulation or environmental care. What conservatives are attentive to is the presence of individuals who do not belong to their group. That is what they fear. To address this, they arm themselves and train. Yes, it is out of fear of external groups. This heightened attention corresponds to fear.

I've been both.

“You could be completely predisposed to be a conservative and still rationally think your way into being a liberal. . . . And yeah uh . . Vice versa” 😂😂😂 7:18

Define "liberal".

Don't. Just don't. Seriously? Phrenology? Might as well say conservatives tend to be virgos and liberals scorpios. "Purely speculative" is right. These people should be held accountable for spreading this nonsense.

Makes me wonder if one of them are more drawn to horror movies than the other.

Conservatives are sponges for conspiracy theories, they are why my children have a bleak future. It takes a special kinda genius to think you know more about the climate because of a meme than a scientist working in the field.

Haha wow there's an actual difference in the brain 🧠 mental

Wow that does seem a very inefficient way for our brains to do that, super interesting ❤

00:50, important discussion. Threat sensitivity. After the opiod epidemic, and the 16 trillion dollar hit to the american economy from the 'horrible thing' it does seem that there was a reasonable conclusion that the transfer of power from government to experts and private equity was a threat to economic sovereignty . That sensitivity to threat was reasonable. OWID.. our world in data and oxfam both reported on the data and outcome, rather than jingoistic mantra's.

I like the "foundational vs. contextual" distinction. A liberal looks at a snake and decides it is not as threatening as a lion. The conservative ponders that either one can kill. The conservative tends to return repeatedly to the base beliefs upon which his decisions are made. Liberals who do this end up with conclusions like those of J.P. Sartre. In Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" the liberal professor had concluded "nothing is anything." The conservative had concluded "everything is something."

The various experiences of life eventually cancel each other out, leaving you. You see this everywhere.

Love this clip, including your own contributions. I been subliminally aware of this phenomenon for some time and this explanation is very clarifying.

thought-provoking to say the least; earned yourself a sub from Sydney, Australia!

Great clip!

Sounds freeing.

Wow such an interesting idea ❤

Oh please, with all this autism shit. Desperate naughty people trying to be different 😂 everyone is classed as autistic these days, who isnt?! What behaviours arent? Sooooooo stupid and even more stupid that everyone goes along with it.
