Liberal

I am very aware of the confirmation bias here, but this just makes sense to me:

Exploring the neurobiology of politics, scientists have found that liberals tolerate ambiguity and conflict better than conservatives because of how their brains work.

Previous psychological studies have found that conservatives tend to be more structured and persistent in their judgments whereas liberals are more open to new experiences. The latest study found those traits are not confined to political situations but also influence everyday decisions.



Having recognizing my predisposition toward liberal views, it might be beneficial for me to have a bit more structure and principles in my life, after all a balanced world view is what I've been after, even though I honestly don't know how they will turn out to be in the end.
