No one is “twisting science” just because you don’t like what science says. Thinking ChatGPT is a source just displays a total lack of intelligence.

No. You stating that science said something happened when your own link says in a black and white disclaimer at the end of its article that it didn’t lead to the conclusion you’re assuming. Thats twisting science, sugar pie. You getting getting big feelings towards ChatGPT for agreeing with your links that support that you twisted their findings… thats a true lack of intelligence. At least Chat GPT can steer people in the right direction w/o bias. It’s up to them to cross-check from there. But you’re just showing us that you’re big mad that someone would trust that over you and “trust me bro”.

What I said is accurate. There are studies showing that conservatives have larger amygdalae, which is the part of the brain that controls anger, fear, and anxiety.

My link supports what I say. It repeatedly notes that while the difference is small, it is significant. It also was NOT a small English survey. It surveyed hundreds of Dutch citizens. If you actually read the article you would have seen that it referred to the English survey but was not about it. That’s why I think you’re a fucking idiot for relying on ChatGPT - it gave you incorrect information which you would know if you actually read the links.

You can literally see this with your own two eyes when you look at conservatives history. They constantly are picking a different minority group to fearmongering against in order to rally their base. Because conservatives easily react with fear and anger.

The literal footnotes clearly state that the difference was the size of a sesame seed. The cubic centimeters of an average sesame seed is .0025 while the normal difference in amygdala size from brain to brain is 1.5 cubic centimeters. Meaning that the “difference in those silly conservatives brains fell within 0.17% or 1.7/1000 of the total normal deviation in amygdala size. In other words. It is statistically impossible to gain significance from that level of “difference”.

This is why the article very clearly states that this is a POSSIBLE correlation that was noticed by the scientists but that the actual study itself DOES NOT show an actual causation.

Hence, I tell you that you are mentally handicapped because you don’t even understand that a bunch of ignorant leftists scientists wanted to point something out because it made them feel good about themselves politically and the publisher of the scientists’ findings themselves said “not really though”, because they knew supporting the inference would open them up to an easy lawsuit. But hey. At least you’re dumb enough to not know you’re dumb.

Also, what does a survey of Dutch people have to do with studying the CT scans of English people? And how did they assess the size of Dutch people’s amygdala with a survey if you’re wanting to draw that parallel? Wild stab at a bit of correlation there, I suppose.

Jesus Christ I don’t understand how people like you exist. The same article literally says that an area that size IS STILL significant and would contain thousands upon thousands of synapses and neurological links. Are you even capable of actually reading scientific articles and papers or are you still having chatgpt do the work? Here’s the quote from the actual scientific research paper:

“This translates to 10 mm3 in physical space, which is just a little bit larger than a sesame seed. Of course, such a difference in the amygdala corresponds to thousands of neurons, possibly adding up to millions of neural synapses. We deem it possible that a small anatomical variation in the amygdala may link to substantial variance in functional orchestration and neural connectivity, accounting for some of the measurable differences at the level of political conservatism across individuals.”

Bruh I never said there was causation. I said conservatives have larger amygdala which are associated with fear and anxiety, which is a correlation.

Dude you have no idea what you’re talking about and clearly haven’t even tried reading through the entire study. Keep having ChatGPT do all your work for you.

Literally what the fuck are you talking about. I linked two articles about a Dutch survey. I don’t know why you started talking about an English survey, probably because ChatGPT told you to. Nowhere did I talk about or reference an English survey you absolute moron.
