>A study at University College London in the UK has found that conservatives’ brains have larger amygdalas than the brains of liberals. Amygdalas are responsible for fear and other “primitive” emotions.

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-human-beast/201104/conservatives-big-fear-brain-study-finds

>Liberals had more gray matter at least in the anterior cingulate cortex, a region of the brain that helps people cope with complexity.

http://www.asanet.org/press/20100223/Evolution_and_Intelligence.cfm

>"General intelligence, the ability to think and reason, endowed our ancestors with advantages in solving evolutionarily novel problems for which they did not have innate solutions," says Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist at the London School of Economics and Political Science. "As a result, more intelligent people are more likely to recognize and understand such novel entities and situations than less intelligent people, and some of these entities and situations are preferences, values, and lifestyles."

>Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) support Kanazawa's hypothesis. Young adults who subjectively identify themselves as "very liberal" have an average IQ of 106 during adolescence while those who identify themselves as "very conservative" have an average IQ of 95 during adolescence.

>The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex, which resembles a "collar" surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. It consists of Brodmann areas 24, 32, and 33. It appears to play a role in a wide variety of autonomic functions, such as regulating blood pressure and heart rate, as well as rational cognitive functions, such as reward anticipation, decision-making, empathy, impulse control,[1] and emotion.[2][3]

No wonder liberals are typical a bunch of scum who can't make anything except emotional arguments

well they don't randomly throw in articles about how android is contributing to global warming, if that's any indication.

tbh, the in-depth articles are well written and relatively unbiased, the android articles are about android, the ios articles are about ios, and the winmo articles are about as common as microsoft's market capture.

For pure newspaper-type journalism, engadget is perfect. For more indepth i turn to phoronix for linux, omg-ubuntu for ...ubuntu, and a handful of tech-related subreddits for link aggregation to the wider internet

You liberals claim to be smart, and what do you do for the modern society? You write feminist trash, literature review, and pornography. You're useless to a modern society. Most of you can't even find a job because your brain could only get you a degree in History at best.

>>35039360
I've never seen a liberal going for degree in a science. It's always and art.

I have spoken to many liberals that think psychology is an absolute science, though.

>>35039400

Because engineering, technology, science, and math are for people with LOWER IQ's you ignoramus!

Politics, art, literature, gender studies, ethnic studies, and art are for people with HIGHER IQ's.

Don't you get it? The data about IQ matches up with what we see in reality! Sheesh!

>>35039610
My brother got an Art Degree
Is now an Auto-body mechanic
He spends 90% of his day engineering.
His buddy went for CS
Designs websites all day for a company, does most of the art for the website.

The irony makes them both laugh.

>>35039587
I think some uni's already offer that, a few basic CS courses mixed in with some psychology and "perspective" bullshit.

I can't imagine it ever taking off, though.

>>35039728
>mechanic
>engineering

Not exactly right, but I see your point. Sometimes, people don't get to do exactly what they want to in life, and have to improvise.

>>35039728
It's good that they can laugh about it, it shows that they're at least somewhat happy doing what they do.

Some people are very qualified in their field, but they just get a degree because in this day and age you kind of have to whether you're great at what you do or not.

If I was good at what I did but everyone wanted me to get a degree, I'd probably go for an art degree because it'd be easier.

Libtards seem to take it like it's some sort of higher understanding of things.

>>35039587

I don't think the Verge is really pro liberal. I think its more "write about X because X brings in the readers". That just happens to be liberal topics these days -- feminism and the tech industry is a crazy hot topic for example.

Anyways, I tend to get my news from Ars Technica but it seems like they don't update as often as The Verge. The Verge is more 'tabloid'-esque -- I don't feel their writers are really journalists, but more like bloggers. Some of their articles are basically just links to other sites.

What I check out for news:
Ars Technica
Slashdot

What I check out for tech related things people are talking about:
The Verge

What I check out for the geek in me:
Hackaday (closing down? D: )
Makezine (gone to shit recently)
Sparkfun Thursdays and Fridays
UniverseToday for spess news

If anyone has any suggestions for cool hacks/robotic/electronic blogs/sites, links would be most appreciated.

>>35039922
I dunno, but the median starting salary for University of Illinois grads in CS is $90,000/yr.

I don't subscribe to the stormfriend philosophy that what you are is more important than what you do.

I could care less who writes the article since I have a brain and can filter out shit that's useless or just there to get views and shit that's really interesting and a good read.

I kind of pity that you can't do the same; its a pretty common human trait. But hey, since you're ARYAN MASTUR RACE, not being able to judge content based on what it says instead of who wrote it must be one of those superior traits from those superior genes. Go Hitler! Woooo!

I like how the word "Liberal" is all it takes to start a political shit storm.

You guys are idiots, no one is going to change their opinion on anything, no one is going to concede victory to you in an internet argument, it's the most fruitless waste of time you could possibly do today. Why don't you go tidy something up, or continue work on a project you've been working on? It would be a better use of time and you would be a better person for it.

And giving massive amount of tax payer money to large groups of people who add nothing to the GDP is also fucking retarded.


But on a scale of retardation, invisible men and taking an religious text as FACT is far more retarded.
