    Since we’re sharing fun facts, conservatism and authoritarianism is unsurprisingly correlated with high levels of obedience in things like the Milgrim shock experiment replications. Something akin to 90% compared to the original 60% (which was already quite high since they only had white men at the time).

    They’re also more likely to choose selfish options in things like the prisoners dilemma, too!
