Liberals, Atheists Are More Highly Evolved?
Smarter people more inclined to nontraditional values, study suggests.
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/03/100303-liberals-atheists-smarter-evolution-evolved/A former student cites a “study” that
claims liberals and atheists are smarter
than conservatives & fundamentalists—
more evolved, advanced.
As a result of their iconoclastic ancestry,
he suggests, people with higher levels of
intelligence are more likely to adopt social
values and behaviors that are relatively
new to human life—liberalism, atheism,
staying up late, and (for men) monogamy,
for example.
Surrounded by geniuses! Swimming with
savants.
I study tv evangelists and Glenn Beck
and Bill O’Reilly etc on my flat-screen
to see if I can see thru them. Spelunking,
I call it: practicing transparency exercise.
where it’s dark as a dungeon way down
in the mind.
Mind minding lit
& illuminated
with lucid schemes.
Beyond their Henny Penny & Turkey
Lurkey anxieties beats hearts of gold.
with as many carets as my world-
salvaging liberal & spiritual friends
sitting bolt upright in the middle of
the night stricken by
legal and illegal immigration, snail darters
& vanishing species.
The talking-point tokens for fear
and trembling vary, of course, but
it’s overall the SAME oooooo
myyyy gawd!
hear ye hear ye
oyez oyez
obey obey
pay attention.
My World’s always in dire straits
as-if I were a sinner in the hand of
an angry Goddess: me dangling
from a thread over the pit of
hell & holy smokes.
Something LIKE that
& anyone can improve
my terms of endearment.
Call it creeping Progressivism
if you want, evolving Socialism
for crying out loud, Industrialized
Farming and Education in a hand
basket with Universal Health Care
Why else would I be making such
a tink-a-tank-tunk & hullabaloo
all the time being?
