I dispute both parts of the meme here.

Many people have said that reading the bible tends to turn people into liberal atheists, as rational people reject the idea of a cruel and vindictive God, and conclude that acceptance of His word requires us to suspend our capacity to think.

Further, though I admit that learned people tend to be liberals, there are plenty of folks across the educational spectrum who honestly care about the well-being of those around them.

The science surrounding this subject suggests that the liberal/conservative dichotomy lies in the way our brains are “wired,” and this does appear to explain at least in part why most people do not make radical changes to their political philosophies as they make their way through their lives.

But even if we accept this assertion that our brains are, in fact, wired a certain way, the question remains: how did they become so? What part of this is genetics? Heredity? Some notion of “basic personality” that transcends both genetics and heredity?

It’s not as if the United States has held the moral high ground throughout its history, with its slavery, the butchering of the Indians, Jim Crow, the support of tyrannical dictatorships around the globe, and the corrupt suppression of the working class in favor of Trump’s billionaire donors.

Yet, it was very recently that the entire nation became a force for the destruction of civil society.

There really are threats to human civilization that seem to be mounting in intensity:

• World fascism. (If it can happen in the U.S., it could conceivably happen anywhere.)

• Environmental collapse.

• Malicious use of AI.

• Pandemics, as misinformation on vaccinations spread and the frozen tundra melts, releasing pathogens never seen by humans.

• Nuclear war.

Addressing the point made at left, is there any scenario in which world governments agree to cooperate so as to stave off the end of an organized society here on Earth? One supposes so, though it sounds far-fetched in today’s world in which the leaders of most of the 200+ sovereign nations are trying so desperately to cling to power.
