The book cited as evidence is by that well-known titan in the field of psychology, Anonymous Conservative:

https://www.amazon.com/Evolutionary-Psychology-Behind-Politics-Conservatism/dp/0982947933

It's published by Federalist Publications of MacClenny, FL. That publishing house does not appear to have published any other works.

Hilariously, this anonymously self-published 'science' book has been cited by blogger John Press in a screed about how the left hates science.

My understanding of r/K selection theory (from Ecology) is that it's been jettisoned and superseded by better insights. I don't think there are experts in the relevant field today that use it or take it to be the most rigorous instrument of analysis.

It's mostly used by people like Molyneux or Anonymous Conservative in favor of their own personal theories about the political differences between liberal and conservative. Interesting, but I don't lend much credence to it.

Read this book. The electronic version is pretty cheap.

The Evolutionary Psychology of Politics by Anonymous Conservative:

It is a great introduction to some of the science behind why conservatives and liberals are so completely different in the head from one another. It addresses both nature and nurture, evolution and culture. It is very insightful as to how and why liberals and conservatives tick.

u/chicka-cherry-cola · 2 pointsr/Conservative

This may or may not help your current arguments, but understanding the psychology behind why liberal progressives and conservatives have completely different realities is very valuable to know.
The best way to do this is read:

I was familiar with all of these concepts before you brought them up. I have listened to plenty of Johnathan Haidt even though he is a Jew. This is nothing new.

>the standard left-right dimension

Lots of people are confused about this subject. You can see it in this thread even. You can't escape it. Since I already know what you are talking about, you are the one here who needs to catch up. Why don't you pick up a book.

>The guys who build and run organizations do so with skills and personalities that are almost orthogonal to being alpha.

You sir are looking for r/K, the x axis to α/β on the evolutionary psychology plane.

Funny enough you'll not find a more perfect example of K psychology than a wolf in the winter.

Haven't read this but I plan to when I have the money. Heard its supposed to be a good one

u/pr-mth-s · 1 pointr/climateskeptics

>During his campaign, Quist's life has come into the public light, including his regular musical performances at an Idaho nudist resort with his daughter.

this book explains not just why these types of people go to nudist colonies, but why they fantasize about other people deaths.

Are you an idiot or just a troll? The sources for my parts about genetics are in the videos' descriptions. You can easily find them. The videos about genetics are based around r/K genetic theory, which is a genetic topic that has been studied for many, many years. Hell, you could go on Amazon right now and order a major book on this topic:

https://www.amazon.com/Evolutionary-Psychology-Behind-Politics-Conservatism/dp/0982947933

I just wanted to provide you a more interesting presentation on the topic. The website I linked you to that analyses leftism provides many sources and even dozens of books on specific topics to do further research. The rest of my sources are historical and you can find many books on them. All you have done with this conversation is prove my point even further: leftists are irrational. Even a leftist like you, who tries to be rational, still falls victim to the symptoms of leftism. Leftists just double down when presented with facts that conflict with their viewpoints. The worst part of all is that they do not realize it. They are so smug with their ignorance and stupidity. It would be funny if it were not so dangerous to our society. Fortunately, the more time passes, the more people on the left will leave and go to the right. There is still hope, thankfully. I know that you have no legitimate counter-argument, so can you please, for the love of God, not respond back? All you are doing is wasting your time and, especially, mine. Goodbye (hopefully).

Yea, a bunch studying different things. This conclusion was teased out of a number of different areas of research.

Maybe start here:

>I think the division is a natural consequence of biology and upbringing.

This book may prove interesting for you then, if you want to learn about it. Judging from the reviews it seems like the author did a (relatively) good job.

u/Guatemalanwatersnake · -17 pointsr/Libertarian
