Take a look at the relative productivity on a nationwide precinct by precinct basis according to political affiliation to get the true picture. The per capita productivity of Conservatives versus Liberals is higher due to greater work ethic.
The above said, it seems Liberal elites have the benefit of more intelligence than conservatives. I’m not talking just IQ here. Leftists appear be the beneficiaries of big tech and financial services surveillance, where “Metadata” collection without checks and balances and exploiting employees in compromising situations has gone too far. The irony is Republicans have been against pro-privacy legislation for a long time. Oh, that lobbyist money is so tasty!
Even worse is the use of behavioral science in predicting how potentially vulnerable people can be effectively coerced into divulging private information of a third party, whether it is a targeted customer, employer, or targeted politician. Remember Trump?
While I’m for having public officials activities being monitored, I ask that it be done equally, regardless of political affiliation.
As we transition from the Information Age to the AI Age, with a nod to proliferation of communication, the exploitable difference in relative IQs will become smaller and smaller. Another way to put it is that character is likely to become less of a factor in one’s productivity. In other words, those who are most machine-like will prevail. Good for Leftist Elites, at least for a while, for everyone else, not so much.
I’ll take a ham sandwich to go, please. Put it on Halliburton's account.
