>>16563144Do you have anything to contribute other than namecalling?

>>16563132Nothing outside of consciousness is valuable.so no, they're not more valuable than anything.
>>16563132Here let me post the rest of that quote for you:>The categories allowed us to create composite moral allocation scores for humans only (average of units allocated to the first nine categories) and for nonhumans (average of units allocated to the last seven categories).>In addition, participants also completed a more qualitative measure of the extent of their moral circle by clicking on rungs extending outward and representing the same categories as in the moral allocation task (see Supplementary Note 4). This measure allowed us to create heatmaps to visualize the relative sizes of liberals’ and conservatives’ moral circles.And a quote from the paper:>Overall, these results suggest conservatives’ moral circles are more likely to encompass human beings, but not other animals or lifeforms whereas liberals’ moral circles are more likely to include nonhumans (even aliens and rocks) as well.>>>>>as wellSage

>>16563384>We also explained to participants that these categories were non-overlapping such that giving to one category (e.g. extended family) would not include an inclusive category (e.g. immediate family).cope and seethe

Akshually there were two tasks, one where the circles were inclusive and one exclusive. It seems the graph is for the inclusive version, so the study doesn't prove that liberals think rocks are MORE valuable than humans, only EQUALLY valuable.
>>16563132Wow. Those were not the instructions given in the paper. Now /pol/brained fags are straight up lying.
>>16563449>only EQUALLY valuable.Quite insane but that's their trademark.
>>16563133Science is inherently political, because it is used to excuse government actions.
>>16563132I think about this image often. It explains so much.
>>16563449It’s still a fascinating distinction between the two groups.

>>16563449why does this dumb test groups sapient aliens and extraterrestrial bacteria into one category?
>>16563449>only EQUALLY valuableThat's not what that means.Also humans+rocks is objectively of greater moral value than humans because rocks don't inherently have negative moral value.If anything this experiment just proves conservatives are just fucking idiots that don't comprehend how sets work on a fundamental level, or they hate the universe and everything in it outside of their small circles.Probably both.
cool story, /pol/.
>>16564735When presented with a chance to show a moral preference for close friends and family over rocks, thirdies, and other wastes of the universe's time and energy conservatives gave the obviously correct response while liberals decided to signal what good people they were by declaring their deep concern for the worms on Uranus.
>>16564744Definitely both
>>16564748>sure my mom has cancer but that squirrel just cut its foot on a rock! :((
>>16564753I'm reiterating myself, but definitely both.
>>16564753If you care less about the set of things that includes your mother and squirrels than you do about the set of things that includes your mother and excludes squirrels, what you are claiming is that you hate squirrels, not that you love your mother.
>>16564779If you're asked what you care about in the world and your mind jumps to both your mother *and* squirrels then you're a psychopath.
>>16564779I care about my mom, your mom, all humans, all squirrels and all rocks. I may only cry when my mom dies and not when your mom dies. I won't cry when a rock withers away from friction. I won't mourn the death of bacteria on my hands after washing them. But God damnit I care about all of them! Even you, anon..
>>16564783>If you're asked what you care about in the world and your mind jumps to both your mother *and* squirrels then you're a psychopath.Good thing they weren't asked that, huh?If you're asked whether you care more about the world including your mother or just your mother, and you answer your mother, you're a dipshit. Or evil. Either or.
>>16563132Ethically speaking why are you a faggot /pol/tard?
>>16564797People who say "I care about my mother" are expressing real emotions.People who say "I care about the entire universe!" are virtue signaling and whatever actual emotions they have toward their family are apparently too weak to be more important to them than the virtue signaling.

>>16564458>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oikophobia>Oikophobia (Greek: oîkos, 'house, household' + phóbos, 'fear'; related to domatophobia and ecophobia[1]) is an aversion to a home environment, or an abnormal fear (phobia) of one's home[2] and also a tendency to criticize or reject one's own culture and praise other cultures.[3] how come xenophobia is constantly talked about in the media and it's opposite mental condition is never mentioned?

>>16564808this thread only upsets you because you feel that the data in OP reflects poorly on yourself, you would not have been emotionally triggered had that not been the case
>>16563132more valuable than CHUDS obviously
>>16565607>People who say "I care about the entire universe!" are virtue signalingThe survey was literally about your virtues.This is what I mean when I say you fuckers are dumb and evil.
>>16567328>ohh I'm such a saint, I'm perfect, I care about everyone and everything, I'm like Jesus or something!!>what!?! someone disagreed with me about something!!?>I hate you!! I want to kill you!!! the tolerant left, ladies and gentlemen
>>16569064I didn't say I hate your or want to kill you. You're projecting. I said you're dumb and evil. People can change, not that you necessarily qualify as "people".Also, it's a longstanding philosophical principle that the intolerant shouldn't be tolerated. Left, right, or center, no good comes from tolerating shitbags.>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_toleranceSo bitch about people not liking you after you make any effort at all to embrace humanity.
>>16569383>not that you necessarily qualify as "people"dehumanization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DehumanizationDehumanization is one form of incitement to genocide.[6]not only are you intolerant of people who don't share your opinions, you're also too ignorant to be able to mask your true feelings effectively. enjoy your impotent revenge fantasies, kid.
