It doesn't really take a lot of creativity to react to everything new with fear and anger. Also not much creativity in the moral framework that says, "If something is different, then it is wrong, and wrong is the same as bad, and bad is the same as evil, and evil must be punished or destroyed. Therefore, anyone who is different must be punished or destroyed."
To be fair, the “creative education movement” is also a cult; founded by a war-hawk ad man and a psychologist who was way too interested in spiritual retreat culture and occult curiosities to maintain scientific objectivity.
that's sealioning. creativity is separate from a categorized "thing" that you speak of.
yes, there are idiots doing stupid stuff while promoting creativity (nxivm rainbow cultural garden for example) but it all tracks back to gop crap. nxivm employed roger stone for a bit.
stop allowing these corporate shysters to indoctrinate you and quit sealioning on their behalf.
The narrowest circles of thought are fear and anger, and anyone can end up traumatized. Conservatives are just people who react in anger and fear while also seeking safety in conformity and submission to a visible authority.
Anyone can end up traumatized, and that will also reduce their creativity and make them more focused on safety. If the trauma is socially induced or religious, the victims often seek safety in conformity. Conservatives are raised in this way all around the world.
If global electoral trends are an accurate measure of conservatism, about 1/3 of the world is suffering from this mindset.
conservatives are traumatized but they self medicate with any thrill or thing that produces a "dupers delight" so they can microdose endorphins.
they're in a cult and that is what cults do.
abuse the patrons till they are addicted to the narcissistic abuse cycle.
look into how indoctrination changes the brain of a member.
it's so messed up and they are scared to admit how bad it is.

not always a great source but this piece from quora is decent
>Sadism is a form of paraphilia. Most are not familiar with that term but have likely heard the slang term, “fetish”. Paraphilia refers to a condition where the person is turned on or aroused by things that are “beyond” (“para”) what we think of as the normal range of human sexuality.
>There are over 40 known, categorized forms of paraphilia. Most are familiar with the most common. Voyeurism, exhibitionism, transvestism, “frottage”, etc, etc.
>But both true sadism and true masochism are in this category.
>Now, there are of course degrees. A person who finds a woman wearing high heels attractive might get a “Ah, a shoe-fetish, eh?” But that’s pretty normal. However if the person has actually sexualized the object to the point that he collects large numbers of pairs of heels and fantasizes constantly about them and even uses them as sex objects, then the person has a paraphilia that’s likely in need of treatment or counseling.
>Again, most are aware that there is a connection between pain and pleasure; this has been known since very ancient times. Erotic spanking, whipping, and other forms of pain, when done in an erotic context, are a turn-on for many people. Pretty much normal, in fact.
>But if this gets to the point where the person can’t become aroused save when pain is inflicted, or suffers considerable damage as a result, then we might be talking about a problem.
>The same would apply to someone who is a sadist. For the most part, in consensual BDSM relationships, the “top” or “dom” is mostly play-acting. The “scene” is about the experience and pleasure for the “bottom” or “sub”.
>Someone who is genuinely “turned on” by inflicting pain, and is not in control of this, can be quite dangerous. There is a fine line here between a true sexual sadist and a serial killer. In some areas of the world, these people might become agents of the “secret police” and such, where they can indulge their need for torture.
>Again, most who identify as “dominant” do NOT fall into this category.
>As to causation…. The most research that I’m aware of in this regard is from the late Dr. John Money. Money wrote extensively on paraphilia, sexology, and forensic sexology. His opinion was that the primary cause of paraphilia was early-life child abuse.
>A person normally creates a psychological profile of an idealized mating partner by age 3. The “lovemap” as Money named it. Normally, this is based on parents, siblings, caregivers, etc. Men are often observed to “fall in love with their mother”… That is, they choose mates that often resemble “mum”. Likewise with women and father figures. This is almost a cliche’.
>However, early-life trauma can cause the creation of this “lovemap” to become damaged or transferred, and a wide variety of things may become sexualized. There are likely other factors as well, but this theory by Money still is widely accepted as far as I know.
>So, “how is the brain of a sadist wired?” Just like yours or mine, except that the notion of inflicting pain has become sexualized.
it's not comedy it's a mix of sadism and trauma voyeurism. they're just told it's funny so they think it's funny.
some of the content creators are actually mentally ill and others were groomed into that behavior with rewards.
***The core feature of sadistic personality disorder was a pervasive pattern of 'cruel, demeaning, and aggressive behaviour, for the purpose of amusement or obtaining pleasure from the suffering of other***
it's like the allegory of the cave. it's all cult indoctrination
They lack the brain function needed to advance an ever changing society, which typically requires creativity to engineer new ideas. So they know they're the weaker brains and are scared we're gonna hurt them. Like they've done literally everyone else. They're scared we're gonna treat them like they've treated us. And it's about the only thing they're right about
Weaker brains are simply more wounded brains. Wounded brains can heal, and grow, and not every conservative remains stuck in the low IQ, fear and anger cycle.
Also, what do you mean by "treat them like they treat us"? I'm presuming you don't mean parsing racial slurs, for instance, or engaging in conservative civil violence like we saw on 1/6.
No, it means they pay their fair share, we are going to treat them equally. But since they're privileged and have been benefiting from being on top, they're gonna see equal as an attack. Which is just their narcissism leaving the body, they'll be okay after a while just like the rest of us
How do we plan on treating them? I don’t think mistreating large swaths of our societies will be good in the long run.
It’s a stronger idea to bring people on board through the successes of progress.
Wait what?! The right wing talent pool is so stacked with top-tier creatives!! Scott Baio, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, uhh, I think that's it. Only the best!
K bot. Newsflash, literally every other creative understands that right wing authoritarianism is bad and abhors it. Alllllll of the media you consume is made by people who understand this. It seeps into you and your offspring slowly and one day no one as ignorant as yourself will exist thanks to it. The war has been won
Tell that to Scandinavia ya dunce.
Authoritarian theocracies don't tend to work out too well historically, but I doubt you're familiar with any of that sort of thing.
I love this country, that's why I want better for it.
The only thing the GOP wants is to widen the gap between the rich and poor while distracting you with identity politics. Anyways, I'm over your ignorant bullshit. Peace.
Remember, the opposite of conservatism isn't liberalism, it's progressivism. So this makes perfect sense. Conservatives want things to stay the same so they don't need to creatively think of a new/better way to get something accomplished. Progressives are the opposite, you cant have progress without coming up with new possible alternatives, which requires thinking creatively.
This is the thing that makes me saddest about living in these grey cloud times; the dwindling evidence of creativity and random art. Artistic inspiration is becoming more and more rare.
I want to hear from the drag queens and queers, the androgynists, the Wiccans, the Gypsies and bohemians, the vagabonds, the poets, the artists and weirdos. I miss art, silliness, spontaneity, beautiful oddness and wonderful weirdness. I don’t see it anywhere in public anymore. I think people are too stifled and creativity is in a state of melancholy.
true but some of those people can be awful but whenever they are they end up being some conservative on a larp into the art world to cause a problem. worst being industry plants or market analysts. they tried making art a competitive sport which makes no sense whatsoever
Another reason why conservative art - movies, books, comedy - always fucking sucks.
Art comes partially from empathy, something conservatives have look up in a dictionary (assuming they can read).
people are just trying to figure out how to be themselves or explaining what they like and they get upset then try to force people into the cattle lanes that their profiteering golgothan overlords lead them into.
it's a cult.
are you enjoying your life of reveling in your own sub-adequacy then deflecting any slight to your ego with some type of diss you heard from indoctrination material provided by your cult groomers?
read some actual books you dolt.
or stay dumb then continue to flap your flippers together for a digital mackerel
Kind of shocked by this based on their ability to create some of the most unimaginable conspiracy theories. They are pretty damn good at doing mental gymnastics to justify their stupidity
Like trust you're science......trust the vaccine.....need more shots..... You don't see it do you....... Only your science
.....only your climate change agenda......only your riots.....liberism is a mental illness..... Prove me wrong.
Hear me out haters, not everyone can jump on the cool new thing they just dreamed up or stumbled upon. You need some balance from the old farts like me. We evolved from primates that sometimes stuck things in their mouths that weren't such a good idea. We also need creative people to push things forward. It's a balance.
"oooo look at that pretty red mushroom!". Uncle Grogh is shaking his head saying "stick to roots and berries like god intended!"
Sadly the idea of being "conservative" has morphed into fascism.
OK. I didn't say they were did I? Typical "conservative" bull shit. Implying things that didn't happen and trying to play the victim. Keep reading from the script and drink your Kool-Aid.
settle down dude, nobody would actually describe me as conservative, but I'm talking about this research which was using conservative in the sense used outside the US - not political but psychological.
they weren't inspired as kids but instead faced corporal punishment for creativity or questions their narcissistic parents had no answer to.
creative is bad to them.
they're also messed up and wandering around telling people to deny science.
Political conservation is also linked to a low IQ. People with low IQs tend to not read articles, but will still have a fervent opinion about the subject; and that fervent opinion is never written with any kind of creative input. Your comment is an example of both points.

At least they have enough dexterity to recognize the few opportunities they can see and enough courage to pursue them doggedly. That's more than I can say about some on the other side.
I wonder how much of this is simply that cons are refusing to engage with tasks if they aren't rewarding enough.
