@keegantatum: The most important brain difference between progressives (ie liberals, leftists, etc) and conservatives (ie right wing). A breakdown of the amygdala with new neuroscience data I haven’t covered before. This video is about fear because it’s Halloween week! #fyp #politicalpsychology #politics #fear #neuroscience

Now I’m curious what my amygdala looks like. Is a damaged amygdala bigger or smaller?

I’m surprised you haven’t covered this before. I remember it clearly when it came out. It made me think I was a closet conservative (I’m a scaredy-cat), but i realized by then that conservative policies are bad for communities. Maybe if my parents were religious I’d have turned out differently.

Is there a link between amygdala size and past trauma? Or are there other ways that we assess threats?

I'm curious if those of us raised in a right wing family that ended up being VERY left were just blessed with a more chill amygdala

I don’t understand the relevance. Yes conservatives worry too much that’s what makes them conservative. Liberals don’t worry enough that’s what makes them liberal.

Interesting. I wonder where I would fall. I was raised conservative, had a diagnosed anxiety disorder, and am terrified to participate in protests.... However, I ended up VERY left leaning. 🤔

aren't there like 3 people without an amygdala? and their identities are secret because they are obviously vulnerable and don't recognize aggression

Everyone. Stop telling us you are anxious and left. That's now how statistics work. It's not every person.

I remember seeing someone talk about this and some guy genuinely thought "haha brain piece bigger means I’m smarter than you!"

tribalism does that. Us-vs-them makes more connections & associations of threat signals
