According to the bottom pic there, I'm neither left, nor right.
I am, however, libertarian left AND right. Smuush those red and blue together, turn them purple.

Yeah, that's kind of the thing with libertarian-ism, it's all over the place. I think that's why a lot of people dismiss it so easily. It requires too much thinking and it's harder to project onto.

I think I agree but I don't understand what that has to do with what you quoted.
I thought you were an Ayn Rand libertarian.

What makes the left left and the right right?
An examination of the biological and genetic basis for political ideologies: Do genetics determine if you’re a liberal or conservative? What role does r/K selection theory play in the world where we live? How big is your amygdala - and what does that mean about your possible political perspective? Includes a look at the Prefrontal Cortex, Anterior Cingulate Cortex and the impact of dopamine in the realm of political biology.
Occasionally new information completely blow your mind - and this is one of those times! Stefan Molyneux breaks down the basics of the genetic warfare which is the foundation of all living creatures. Different reproduction strategies have emerged over time and this is explained through r/K Selection Theory. When you look at humanity through the lens of reproduction strategies - it's something you can never, and will never, be able to unsee!

I really, really despise the arrogant attitude "the left" has adopted in the last 8-10 years. Formal education doesn't make you smarter, it makes you more educated, and there is a MASSIVE difference.
Until the smugness is gone, I can't see the divide going anywhere. My $0.02.
