Suggestion for a social experiment [View all]

[FedUpWithIt All]

I was just reading about another study that shows political affiliation has connections to specific brain functions.

Conservatives tend to process new or stressful information with their amygdala and Liberals tend to view the same information with their ACC or anterior cingulate cortex.

As i was reading i began to wonder what it really would be like to live in a society that was inhabited only by those with "liberal brains". I realize there are smaller intentional communities, of either political persuasion, but i was thinking of larger social structures incorporating larger economic and governmental concerns.

I then began to wonder what the "conservative brain" societies would be like. How would they structure their broader economy and government if left to their own choices and demands.

I have seen reality shows built around the premise of post-apocalypse survival scenerio in which the people are pretty well submerged into the social environment that the producers are trying to depict. I personally think it would be fascinating if that type of submersion could be accomplished with true leaning people of each party affiliation. Separate the groups and allow them, under identical start conditions, to form societies.

I would love to see where each society ends up, while mirrored against one another.
