Conservatives = small brained
Liberals = big brained
That's how I interpret it

What's the X and Y axis? What is the unit of Moral allocation?
My professor would never accept a graph like this. Literal trash.

It makes sense that liberals have higher average IQ, and I don't think it has any bearing on the validity of their beliefs. Unintelligent people are more likely to go with their gut feeling instead of spending the time to think deeply. It happens that most of our "gut feelings" align with conservative beliefs. These beliefs are constructed by evolution, and as a result are 100x better than the deep thoughts that 102 IQ midwits come up with for how to run society.

map of who has the most narcissistic savior complex and presumes its their job to be the overseer and protector of the entire universe (AKA god) versus who has a reasonable rational humble worldview and realizes that they can really only have positive impact on a very limited scale
>Ernest Jones, in 1913, was the first to construe extreme narcissism, which he called the "God-complex", as a character flaw. He described people with God-complex as being aloof, self-important, overconfident, auto-erotic, inaccessible, self-admiring, and exhibitionistic, with fantasies of omnipotence and omniscience. He observed that these people had a high need for uniqueness.

There's a positive correlation between liberalism and IQ, but it's miniscule. Like, 0.12, or something like that. Once in a while, you'll see articles like this:
"Liberals are more intelligent, on average, than conservatives!"
Yes, this is true, but the correlation is, as discussed, tiny, and therefore virtually insignificant. The methodology is subject to critique. Like, if it (political affirmation) wasn't self-identified, then you can criticise it on that front. Also, it may be possible, considering the correlation between various political beliefs and IQ, however small, if not self-identified, that they're basically just confused liberals. Prone to cognitive dissonance, contradictory behaviour, and therefore, lower IQ, but even so, given the often obscurity of those beliefs, you couldn't get an ample sample size anyway. Even explicit racism is only correlated with IQ at -0.15, I believe, which is tiny.
However, I believe the negative correlation between apoliticalness and IQ is quite large. Which, as you can imagine, is to be expected given that intelligent people have an opinion on almost everything, from my own experience. To my current understanding, political affirmation is mostly determined by personality, so it's genetic and environmental. Personality isn't correlated with IQ much at all, by the way. Really small, like, 0.03, etc.

Yeah, I've conjured this on my own. There's a bell-curve meme about this, but I didn't save it, sadly. The meme format where the beliefs of both types of outliners line up, and the belief of those centred is at odds.

Theres nothing about IQ in OP, all the chart says is that conservatives value their real relations with people they're actually acquainted with most while liberals place the highest value on their imaginary, nonexistent relationships with "all living creatures in the universe".
