Are hyper-conservative tendencies genetically linked to lower intelligence or dishonesty?
judging by our genetic advances we should know quite a bit about people at a deeper level these days.
How would you want to address innate philosophical implacability combined with a misbegotten sense of self interest
so many people seem to demonstrate these days?
What Im trying to ask, is should we be examining people's motives (deeper than they can themselves), and use that
information to adjust political expectations?
Does anyone think these traits can be, or will be detectable from DNA?
or are they all just that damn stupid and hateful by coincidence?
