"My profession has a shameful history of beating up on conservatives."
It happens like clockwork. Every few years, researchers contrive yet another study to prove that conservatives are mentally deficient. This time, the attack comes from evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa in his current paper, Why Liberals and Atheists Are More Intelligent. To be fair, gunning for conservatives does not appear to be his primary motive. Instead, he seems to have tied himself in knots trying affirm a pet theory. Either way, he has recklessly disparaged millions. The methodology is atrocious.
Sorry IronShrink, but anyone with such a biased title for a paper is obviously gunning for conservatives. But I very much agree, the methodology is atrocious.
