Conservatives and liberals have different patterns of neuronal impulses when confronted with unexpected circumstances, reports Harper's. Scientist have found that self-described conservatives pressed the wrong button in response to a new stimulus 47 % of the time, whereas avowed liberals had a 37 % error rate; liberals have double the activity of conservatives in the anterior cingulate cortex, a deep region in the brain that helps people recognize a "no-go" situation.
Like invading Iran, perhaps.
