-The abstract for the journal article [https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1745691617746796 At Least Bias Is Bipartisan: A Meta-Analytic Comparison of Partisan Bias in Liberals and Conservatives] which was published in the journal ''Perspectives on Psychological Science'' states:
-:"Both [[liberal]]s and [[conservative]]s accuse their political opponents of partisan bias, but is there empirical evidence that one side of the political aisle is indeed more biased than the other? To address this question, we meta-analyzed the results of 51 experimental studies, involving over 18,000 participants, that examined one form of partisan bias—the tendency to evaluate otherwise identical information more favorably when it supports one’s political beliefs or allegiances than when it challenges those beliefs or allegiances. Two hypotheses based on previous literature were tested: an asymmetry hypothesis (predicting greater partisan bias in conservatives than in liberals) and a symmetry hypothesis (predicting equal levels of partisan bias in liberals and conservatives). Mean overall partisan bias was robust (r = .245), and there was strong support for the symmetry hypothesis: Liberals (r = .235) and conservatives (r = .255) showed no difference in mean levels of bias across studies. Moderator analyses reveal this pattern to be consistent across a number of different methodological variations and political topics. Implications of the current findings for the ongoing ideological symmetry debate and the role of partisan bias in scientific discourse and political conflict are discussed."<ref>[https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1745691617746796 Comparison of Partisan Bias in Liberals and Conservatives] by Peter H.

-Arthur C. Brooks wrote in his article ''Reading Too Much Political News Is Bad for Your Well-Being'': "A 2012 survey conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University asked a sample of Americans about their news-consumption habits, and quizzed them about U.S. and international political and economic events. They found that those watching the most partisan television news sources—on both the [[leftism|left]] and the [[right-wing|right]]—were often less knowledgeable about world events than those who consumed no news at all."<ref>[https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/10/reading-too-much-political-news-bad-happiness/616651/ Reading Too Much Political News Is Bad for Your Well-Being] by Arthur C.

-"In this article, we examine psychological features of extreme political ideologies. In what ways are political left- and right-wing extremists similar to one another and different from moderates? We propose and review four interrelated propositions that explain adherence to extreme political ideologies from a psychological perspective. We argue that (a) psychological distress stimulates adopting an extreme ideological outlook; (b) extreme ideologies are characterized by a relatively simplistic, black-and-white perception of the social world; (c) because of such mental simplicity, political extremists are overconfident in their judgments; and (d) political extremists are less tolerant of different groups and opinions than political moderates. In closing, we discuss how these psychological features of political extremists increase the likelihood of conflict among groups in society."

-==== Research indicates that politics is serving as a poor substitute for friendship among lonely people ====
-Source: ''[[How to Know a Person]]: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen'' by David Brooks. Random House (October 24, 2023)
-Politics, as a seductive form of social therapy for lonely people, offers a sense of belonging and moral action. However, politics does not provide community and connection, as it is fueled by resentment and a desire to validate one's side while shameing the other.
-Society has failed to teach the skills and cultivate the inclination to treat each other with kindness, generosity, and respect.
-Schools have historically focused on moral formation, but since World War II, the focus has gradually fallen away.
-The author argues that understanding one another requires seeing people as distinct individuals, members of groups, and their social location. This requires a graduate-level education in the process of understanding another. The goal of Part 1 is to help people see people on a personal level, while Part 2 aims to help people understand and be present for people during harsh times, amid social strife and bitter conflicts of our current age.

-"Yet the cognitive and behavioral science literature suggests that those who are highly educated, intelligent or rhetorically skilled tend to be significantly less likely than most to revise their beliefs or adjust their positions when confronted with evidence or arguments that contradict their priors. This is because, in virtue of knowing more about the world, or being better at arguing, they are better equipped to punch holes in data or arguments that contradict their prior views or to otherwise make excuses for “sticking to their guns” regardless. And so, they do...
-Indeed, research suggests that people with highly refined critical capacities often deploy them to scrutinize others. Hence, those with higher education levels and academic aptitude (college GPA) tend to be less attuned than most to ambiguity, complexity, uncertainty and limitations in their own knowledge -- and less prone to innovative or creative thinking.
-That is perhaps because studies show that, compared to the general public, highly educated or intelligent people tend to be more ideological in their thinking, more ideologically rigid and more extreme in their ideological leanings. Highly educated and intelligent people are also more likely to grow obsessed with some moral or political cause. Research suggests that they are more likely to overreact to small shocks, challenges or slights. Other studies have found that, while they are less likely to be prejudiced against others on the basis of things like race, they tend to be more prejudiced than most against those who seem to think differently than they do -- and often look down on those with less education.
-In short, many of the biases and distortions to which all people are susceptible seem to be even more pronounced among those who are highly educated or intelligent."[https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2019/08/27/academe-should-avoid-politicizing-educational-attainment-opinion?utm_content=buffer09313&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer]

-=== People clinging to dead ideas which have repeatedly failed: Ideological necrophilia  ===
-"Bernie Sanders’s attraction to massive, government-centered programs places him squarely among populists who dismiss the need to maintain fiscal balances and end up with unsustainable government budget deficits. The plans on his campaign website would amount to an estimated $18 trillion to $30 trillion in new spending over the next 10 years. In pledging a form of European-like socialism to throngs of adoring young people, he doesn’t mention that if they were European, many of them [http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=1036http://ec.europa.eu/social/main.jsp?catId=1036 would be unemployed] and without prospects of finding a well-paying job. The bottom line: Many of his policies have already been tested, and many don’t work all that well.
-In a world in which a few keystrokes on a computer can lead to a wealth of information about the track record of a particular economic or political proposal, it’s surprising that ideological necrophilia is still so common. There are many reasons why bad ideas endure, but perhaps the most important is people’s need to believe in a leader when faced with the grave anxieties and uncertainties associated with rapid change—and the demagogue’s inclination in these fragile moments to promise anything, even the discarded notions of demagogues past, in order to obtain and retain power.

-"This timely reissue of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Hofstadter Richard Hofstadter]'s classic work on the fringe groups that influence American electoral politics offers an invaluable perspective on contemporary domestic affairs. In The Paranoid Style in American Politics, acclaimed historian Richard Hofstadter examines the competing forces in American political discourse and how fringe groups can influence — and derail — the larger agendas of a political party. He investigates the politics of the irrational, shedding light on how the behavior of individuals can seem out of proportion with actual political issues, and how such behavior impacts larger groups. With such other classic essays as “Free Silver and the Mind of 'Coin' Harvey” and “[https://www.jstor.org/stable/30031332 What Happened to the Antitrust Movement?], ” The Paranoid Style in American Politics remains both a seminal text of political history and a vital analysis of the ways in which political groups function in the United States."[https://www.amazon.com/Paranoid-Style-American-Politics/dp/0307388441/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?crid=2T9VKK5CC2SO5&keywords=paranoid+style+in+american+politics+hoffstetter&qid=1667207961&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjk3IiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&s=books&sprefix=paranoid+style+in+american+politics+hoffstetter%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C310&sr=1-1-fkmr1]

-*[[East Asia and global desecularization]]
-Germany/France are two main pillars upon which Western, secular, liberalism rests now. If Gave is roughly correct (he did have a mathematical error as per the latter link given above), then an  anti-atheism, anti-homosexuality, ant-feminism Muslim population may strike a huge blow against secular leftism much earlier than I thought.
-On top of this, Merkel appears to be much weaker now and the French youth are becoming more right-wing in recent years.
-I do know that Muslims are not assimilating and they tend to live in isolated ghettos in France (See: [[European desecularization in the 21st century]]).
-My guess is that the accuracy of Gave's calculation rests on whether or not the fertility rate of French Muslims will about stay the same or significantly drop in the next 40 years.
-After all is said and done, secular leftism appears to be between a quickly growing hammer of right-wing populism and an anvil of Muslim/Christian evangelicalism.
-Secular leftism is collapsing much faster than I anticipated. However, I did foresee an acceleration of desecularization happening in the world so I was not completely caught off guard (see: [[Acceleration of 21st century desecularization]]).
