Yamayamauchiman Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Hello there, I'm an anarchist from Belgium. I'm visiting these forums to find a comprehensive list of sources Stefan uses in his videos. I often look for data to support my ideas or claims, but searching through his thousands of podcasts and videos would be insane. Right now I'd like to find a source on the republican vs. democrat IQ and cannot find anything. I'll also try and lurk through what everyone here is talking about. Seems like the conversation never stops!
Natalia Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Welcome to the forums! I have this paper on the Republican vs Democrat IQ differences: https://www.gwern.net/docs/iq/2014-carl.pdf The paper cites a number of other studies too, so I hope that's enough!
AccuTron Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Republicans are less likely to believe in widely accepted scientific ideas such as climate change and the theory of evolution (Kohut, Doherty, & Dimmock, 2009). Indeed, Mooney (2005) argues that, over the last couple of decades, members of the Republican Party have attempted to system- atically undermine certain fields of scientific research. And in his latest book, Mooney (2012, pp. 59–126) contends that Republicans' denial of science stems not only from perceived political advantage, but from psychological traits that incline Republicans to prize certainty above all else. This is from the article's introduction. Climate change! And it says the Repubs are benefitting from it's denial, when it's the Democrats who are making out like bandits from fraud! So right away, we know that this article has little to do with honesty.
