Why do they hate us so much?

18. rw radio and fox etc, but also the certainty deficit disorder - CDD

in the well known 2003 study "political conservatism as motivated social cognition" researchers identify 'avoidance of uncertainty' as a common cause of conservatism/authoritarianism. the Uncertainty Avoidance Index (UAI) is used to measure authoritarianism

CDD, like greed, is a symptom of sex on the wrong brain, which suggests that associating impatient satisfaction-demanding reproductive urges with the left side of the brain has been driving human thought and behavior and brain evolution for millions of years.

it had survival benefits in times of scarcity and conflict, got worse as we began to crowd the planet, and about 100,000 years ago, because sex on the wrong brain was caused by right handed masturbation, we became 90% right handed.

different cultures/civilizations/populations selected for/favored different sowb symptoms. 'old world' descendants inherited higher sowb susceptibility than 'new world' descendants, who were subjected to a lot less large scale sexual repression (eg religion) and were doing a lot less large-scale masturbating after puberty

females have less sowb in general due to mechanical and anatomical considerations and 'new world' descendants have less inherited susceptibility to sowb. high sowb conservatives see low sowb humans as a threat and something to control, limit, and destroy and have 'created' many different strategies (eg fascism) to do that. low sowb humans developed democratic forms of organization to limit and regulate high sowb problems
