Here let me post the rest of that quote for you:
>The categories allowed us to create composite moral allocation scores for humans only (average of units allocated to the first nine categories) and for nonhumans (average of units allocated to the last seven categories).
>In addition, participants also completed a more qualitative measure of the extent of their moral circle by clicking on rungs extending outward and representing the same categories as in the moral allocation task (see Supplementary Note 4). This measure allowed us to create heatmaps to visualize the relative sizes of liberals’ and conservatives’ moral circles.
And a quote from the paper:
>Overall, these results suggest conservatives’ moral circles are more likely to encompass human beings, but not other animals or lifeforms whereas liberals’ moral circles are more likely to include nonhumans (even aliens and rocks) as well.

Akshually there were two tasks, one where the circles were inclusive and one exclusive. It seems the graph is for the inclusive version, so the study doesn't prove that liberals think rocks are MORE valuable than humans, only EQUALLY valuable.

That's not what that means.
Also humans+rocks is objectively of greater moral value than humans because rocks don't inherently have negative moral value.
If anything this experiment just proves conservatives are just fucking idiots that don't comprehend how sets work on a fundamental level, or they hate the universe and everything in it outside of their small circles.
Probably both.

People who say "I care about my mother" are expressing real emotions.
People who say "I care about the entire universe!" are virtue signaling and whatever actual emotions they have toward their family are apparently too weak to be more important to them than the virtue signaling.

Also, it's a longstanding philosophical principle that the intolerant shouldn't be tolerated. Left, right, or center, no good comes from tolerating shitbags.

I don't like this framing because it implies I ever saw you as human.
>Dehumanization is one form of incitement to genocide.
I'm not advocating for harm to befall you. By your own fucking source I'm not dehumanizing you.
Placing hierarchical value on humans as you are advocating for is far more likely to lead to genocide, btw.
>not only are you intolerant of people who don't share your opinions
No. I'm intolerant of people who do share your opinions. Totally different.
>you're also too ignorant to be able to mask your true feelings effectively.
Bold of you to assume I have any intent of masking my feelings. Some of us live dignified lives we can be proud of.
>enjoy your impotent revenge fantasies, kid.
This both implies you've slighted me and implies I give enough of a shit about you in particular to want to get back at you and who the fuck are you kidding?

This picture wouldn't make liberals get so upset if they didn't feel that the data shows something negative about themselves. However even though they recognize that it points out their stupidity and ridiculousness, they still refuse to change to improve themselves.

Based correct take. Right wingers are anti-porn weirdos that opt for simply raping their kids and fucking their cousins because they can't feel anything toward anyone outside of their family. Porn enjoying empathetic chads stay winning.

It's just a case of liberals lying and conservatives telling the truth. If you ask a liberal whether they value a random African kid as highly as they value their own child—assuming that they won't just get mad and start screeching at you—they'll say yes. Yet their actions obviously don't support this claim: They don't break down inconsolable when hearing about a terror attack in Nigeria that killed a hundred people, but they obviously would be devastated if their own child died. A conservative admits this, a liberal won't.

The study authors were so bad with their testing methodology in OP's picrel that that heatmap figure makes me laugh every time, bad bins, vague idea of a moral sphere, and the heatmap isn't actually calculating distance from the center point.
The raw datasets exist for each test subject, and the results are far more boring if you know how to calculate the distance from the center. Means are all stuck right in the middle, as expected, between 11 and 7 for libs/con results shown in the OP. The reason why the authors wouldn't show you a basic ass histogram or a box and whisker is beyond understanding
The results have a point, but nothing significant is gleamed, other than a heat map that only clearly displays that people overwhelmingly clicked on the numbers instead of the distance of the circle. 11-7 is between where our law sits right now, with the most "extreme" policy maybe being for endangered tree ethics. Few liberals are protesting space mining because the rocks should be undisturbed, just as few conservatives are calling for wet markets to be legal in the US (they certainly exist somewhere tho).
>>16564403
Not really if you consider that there are 5 other bins of results ignored in OP, they had 7 ideology bins for that experiment and only showed two, if you take 75 people and asked the top 10 most lib/con, you'd replicate the conditions.

>One hundred thirty-one United States residents (53 male, Mage=35.82, SD=13.76) were recruited from the Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) marketplace for a small monetary reward. Although this sample size was simply chosen on the basis of similar past studies, a post hoc power analysis indicated that we had sufficient power (>0.79) to detect the smallest correlation (in absolute value) found in our analyses below (r=−0.24). Participants completed the study using Qualtrics software, including an ideology measure that contained seven options (very liberal, liberal, slightly liberal, moderate, slightly conservative, conservative, very conservative). Participants were also asked about demographics including age and gender (coded as in Study 1a) and education, which participants were asked to enter in terms of years, with high school completion signifying 12. For participants who entered a nonnumerical response, we translated their response to a number using our best judgment (e.g., “some college” was translated to 14 years). Our sample included 64 liberals, 31 moderates, and 36 conservatives, and participants were only included in analyses if they completed the study in full. Sample size was determined based on attempts to maximize statistical power and was confined to participants who completed the study while it was available on the MTurk marketplace.

Just to be clear. the heatmap was made from 11 "liberals", 10 "conservatives", and these people identify with the most extreme ends of the political spectrum, and it was a voluntary participation poll.
I also took a look at the box plots, if you look at categories 2, 4, and 6, they really don't differ too much in mean, median, and distribution for values lower than the median. It's really categories 1, 3, and 7 that are the most striking.
