Helen Pluckrose added,
There is much evidence for these psychological traits relating to liberalism & conservatism but psychological needs are not ethics.
Someone with a need for order & structure & desire *to know* needn't be simplistic or narrow abt it or claim certainty unjustifiably.
This is the difference between saying 'There'll be a right answer but we don't it yet' & 'Every answer is right in its own way.'
But a love of ambiguity & complexity & newness doesn't require complicating & deconstructing everything & wallowing in the mess either.
This can be the difference between productive innovation & creativity & nihilistic solipsism.
