i simply find that certain values defined by this study to be immoral, and the source of much of humanities problems, namely: purity, authority, and loyalty.

it's as if the study put our political spectrum as an a priori set of truths, rather than symptomatic of the strong cultural sway what i consider to basically be the sources of social evil has. the power and prevalence of wrongful ideology does not make it moral.

Disclaimer - I only skimmed through the linked article because I expected the selection of "values" to be biased to the point meaninglessness. Add the picture of a naked brain... can't get more cliche than that, very hard to read that kind of low quality propaganda.

In general. looking for solutions in Psychology is as dead end as it can be. Propaganda and incentives determine values and knowledge, propaganda being the prime mover, it provides the excuses for skewed incentives.

Talking about knowledge - how smart one is means little without true knowledge, which is sorely lacking in the so called "humanities". Without it, the "people with higher cognitive ability" are simply "garbage in - garbage out" generators. Well, a study of garbage can't result in anything other than garbage.
