> “Disgusting images generate neural responses that are highly predictive of political orientation even when those neural responses don’t correspond with an individual’s conscious reaction to the images,” said Read Montague, a Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute professor who led the study. “Remarkably, we found that the brain’s response to a single disgusting image was enough to predict an individual’s political ideology.”

Yeah real scientific method you have there. Likewise I can put a montage of photos showing pictures of people doing hard work, going to church, Jesus, guns, the Constitution, etc...and predict your ideology just the same by your reaction...

What idiots!
