Start school The liberal gene E. O Wilson is a biologist who has spent a lifetime studying ants. From his studies, he has concluded that the social behavior of all animals, includ- ing humans, is infl uenced by genes, a position contrary to the philosophy of John Locke (1632-1704). Locke believed that the mind of a newborn was a with extra credit. blank sheet upon which experience wrote and thus determined the character of the individual. Nurture was everything, nature nothing. Noam Chomsky, a linguist and philosopher, contends that the ability to speak and understand language is built into the human brain, a position also contrary to Locke’s. He believes that a Universal Grammar is wired into the brain of every child; that $ is, language is in the genes. In 1996 I wrote an article titled “The Liberal Gene,” which was published Get 100 for each in the Nicholas Chronicle, the paragraph above being a paraphrase of the fi rst paragraph of that article. In the article, I argued that “there is a political gene, a gene that determines whether one is conservative or liberal. Liberals are not made, they are born. Or one’s politics is more a matter of nature than nurture.” I have just recently fi nished reading Stevens Pinker’s “The Blank Slate,” new Smartphone. in which there is a chapter titled “Politics.” In the chapter he expounds: “Lib- eral and conservative attitudes are heritable not, of course, because attitudes are synthesized directly from DNA but because they come naturally to people with different temperaments. Conservatives, for example, tend to be more au- thoritarian, conscientious, traditional, and rule-bound. But whatever its im- ® mediate source, the heritability of political attitudes can explain some of the Switch to U.S. Cellular, activate any of our Smartphones sparks that fl y when liberals and conservatives meet. When it comes to atti- tudes that are heritable, people react more quickly and emotionally, are less and get a $100 credit per line. It’s another great reason to likely to change their minds, and are more attracted to like-minded people.” In my 1996 article, I contended: “What the liberal gene builds and the mes- be with the happiest customers in wireless. sages it sends constructs the basic characteristics of a liberal.” And I ques- tioned: “What are these characteristics and traits engineered and dictated by the liberal gene?” Imagination. No person with the liberal gene ever read the following words of John Donne, the English poet, without being intellectually stimulated and Learn how to put your Smartphone emotionally moved: “No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; … any man’s death diminishes me, be- to smart uses at our Device Workshops. cause I am involved in mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.” Visit uscellular.com/events for details. Verbal fl uency. The liberal gene endows the person with skill in words. Liberals are not the tall silent type but the fl exible and loquacious type. For evidence of liberal’s verbal assets one can note the difference between the speeches of Clinton and Dole; FDR and Dewey; Stevenson and Eisenhower; Kennedy and Nixon; or any liberal and Bush II. Sex temperament. The liberal gene tempers the sex; that is, it produces a person that is somewhere in the middle of the sex spectrum. Maleness is modifi ed. Raw predaciousness is diluted with cerebral chemistry. The quar- terback spends some time in the library; the hunter cultivates grain. Do or die competitiveness becomes reasonable cooperation. Absolutes give way to compromises. SAMSUNG GEMTM Empathy. The liberal discerns that no man is an island, that every man is an AndroidTM-powered phone part of the main, and that every man is involved in mankind, and that he is to some degree responsible for mankind’s victories and its defeats, its champi- ons and its scoundrels, its saints and its sinners. He sees that one’s destiny is free not always a matter of will but of fate.

Cooperation. The liberal’s predisposition is to cooperate rather to compete. ® After $100 mail-in rebate that comes as a MasterCard debit card.

A world without altruism would be worse than any jungle; for Dropbox and Pandora® even in a jungle species work together to survive and mothers of whatever kind sacrifi ce for their young. The liberal gene predisposes the carrier to al- truistic action, to an understanding that the welfare of everyone is the welfare of all. And that the raw rule of the survival of the fi ttest is no longer valid or tenable in a man-made environment. From the earliest records, the political spectrum has run from conserva- tive to liberal, from radical to reactionary. For every Attila the Hun there has been a Buddha, every Ratko Mladic a Gandhi, every warrior a poet. Political power through the ages has tilted from conservative to liberal and back. The impetus was and is the liberal gene. Pinker writes: “Liberalism and conservatism have not just genetic roots, of course, but historical and intellectual ones. The two political philosophies were articulated in the 18th century in terms that would be familiar to readers of the editorial pages today, and their foundations can be traced back millen- nia to the political controversies of ancient Greece.” Political history is the work of the liberal gene and its civilizing infl uence.
