Journalists and educators have degrees but its a stretch to call those groups educated. Scientists are a broader category.

but it's a good question, which came first the chicken or the egg so to speak.

It's virtually impossible to be a conservative "journalist" in today's media.  and every educator I know is a hard-core left liberal. Outside of her engineering professors, my daughters four years at University of Kansas had an abundance of liberals; they didn't teach as much as try to indoctrinate. All the stuff you read about college professors going on and on about their favorite liberal cause is 100% true.

Most teachers are liberal due to liberal interference in the schooling system causing the thought process to be screwed up.
Have you seen new math lately?  There's some really screwed up thinking.

I have two Associates and I'm in a Bachelor's program now.

You guys have witnessed, first hand, my beliefs.

to me, it's become more about nuance, Conservatives don't get nuance, they like to simplify things and solutions to things, Liberals often get too concerned with nuance and want to try to protect too many little variations of things.

Education, especially higher education, exposes you to more and more nuanced things, and you get exposed to a crazy number of potentials and possibilities with all kinds of theories meant to tackle everything from the dark matter, string theory, psychological, sociology, history itself is questioned with new discoveries that enlighten our understanding of the past. It becomes harder to value this over that when everything is in a state of flux that is just as valid as the previous state of flux it was in.  so discrimination becomes harder, not like prejudice, but discrimination, you can see how one little thing affects all these other things and can change our understanding all over again,

one thing is constant though, Einstein is right.

Could we say conservatives like to think in absolutes, liberals like to think they are more open minded?

Absolutely...

Jog, no one is pretending......
I think that is where your reasoning gets you into trouble ( with yourself ).
Perception and belief is scripted through everyone's own prejudice and life experience.
Yes, much of our prejudice is taught, be it liberal, or conservative, or between.
To first challenge, remove, and instill another belief, is a great challenge, as it can go to our very core.
In a perfect world, that would be awesome, however, in this world, our leaders and teachers WON'T even do by example, for ridicule awaits those who do.....

When I came to the conclusion, boys can cry, other realizations followed, macho isn't smart.    

So I guess I am trying to say we all have different stimuli.
This is the key factor that drives our brain function.
It is most controversial today re: transgender issues, etc.
However, all of us are driven by that fact.
It is no different than experiencing a different view,and life experience, from being Black.
It's real Jog, and to say something like the White perspective, is "trump" darn, I am beginning to hate that world....
Is wrong, only because white men crafted our constitution, etc.

I believe my draw to faith, is my stimuli as well, yet, many try to deny me my right, or restrict it, based on their prejudice they learned elsewhere....
So I am being judged unfairly, or, unjustly....
This happens everyday against everybody.
All we can do is to not take everything personally, for it will never change bro.
