Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Fri Apr 13 16:16:00 2012 http://hotair.com/archives/2012/04/13/confirmed-conservatives-understand-liberal-positions-better-than-liberals-understand-conservative-positions/Best part, and confirmation of what I've been saying for YEARS: But Haidt’s research went one step further, asking self-indentified conservatives to answer those questionnaires as if they were liberals and for liberals to do the opposite. What Haidt found is that conservatives understand liberals’ moral values better than liberals understand where conservatives are coming from. Worse yet, liberals don’t know what they don’t know; they don’t understand how limited their knowledge of conservative values is. If anyone is close-minded here it’s not conservatives. This explains why they react with anger and emotion to conservative pushback, and why they cling bitterly to racism, sexism and class warfare. They simply are incapable of doing anything else. |
