But centre varies so widely in time & place. Maybe what's innate is our tendency to take a position in relation to it.

You're right again! Our current politics are off the map compared to social positions of centuries past.

Interesting to see what a tendency to conservatism really is.

I'm not sure, but it's interesting to consider that political orientation might just be a natural variation in people's brains.

Some people seem naturally more predisposed to feelings of disgust, threat response & less inclined to rebelling against norms.

Yes, I have seen this too but I think we can get a utopia. It's just that when we do, some ppl will reach for something else

Perhaps the best we can do is a society in which l & r brains are equally unhappy. Which is pretty much what democracies do!

But, I think it's healthy to just accept that there is a variety of brain-types. That people will never all think like you do.
