    Curious that denial of the effects of evolution is the mark of both the extreme right and the extreme left.

        @paulg It's simple, really: Prioritizing personal beliefs over observable facts is a core characteristic of all forms of extremism.

        @cperciva True, but usually the left and right pick different observable facts to ignore.

        @paulg "Denial of evolution" basically = "civilization" Tech, politics, edu, society, hygiene, architecture → anti-natural selection.

        @paulg I think indoctrinated people of any ideology will oppose science often..which flourishes on challenging authority

        @paulg Not simply extremes but moderates - look at race differences beyond the most obvious. It's unthinkable for most that there are any.

        @paulg happens often that two extreme positions are the same thing in practice.

        @paulg the political map should be wrapped on a sphere. That would reveal how both extremes are actually close to each other.
