It had the whiff of parody. Psychologists dissecting the conservative
brain?

The authors also maintain they're not judgmental. Labeling
conservatives" less integratively complex," isn't precisely the same
as saying they're simple- minded. It merely means conservatives
aren't compelled to jump through complex, intellectual hoops to
justify their relatively black-and-white view of the world.


That's the beauty of being able to see things in black and white. There's
no need to jump through complex, intellectual hoops to justify anything or
reach a rationale conclusion. The answers to many of the World's "complex"
problems are always so painfully obvious to a conservative. What frustrates
us most is why liberals have such a hard time with logic and reason.

If you're really an engineer, JimDandy, then you'd know that *everything*
can be seen as black and white if you break it down into small enough
elements. Fluid mechanics and finite element analysis are a couple of
perfect engineering examples proving that the world really *is* black or
white...even the grey shades are just teeny-tiny black and white pixels.

Yes, but the thing is, the smaller the elements, the more the "whole"
is diluted. Just because something can (and you're correct, anything
CAN be) broken down into elementary analysis, doesn't mean that it's
NOT complex!
