Predisposed

Just fascinating: Predisposed: Liberals, Conservatives, and the Biology of Political Differences by John Hibbing, Kevin Smith and John Alford.

“Buried in many people and operating largely outside the realm of conscious thought are forces inclining us toward liberal or conservative political convictions. Our biology predisposes us to see and understand the world in different ways, not always reason and the careful consideration of facts. These predispositions are in turn responsible for a significant portion of the political and ideological conflict that marks human history.”
