Using biology to justify simple laziness, prejudice and bigotry seems contrived and unnecessary to me. My amygdala, as far as i know, cannot tell whether my fears are real or imagined. Whether the imminent danger will really kill me or whether i will just wake up in a cliched hot sweat. We are supposed to be reasonable, open minded and balanced people. This is the criteria by which we should analyse the politics of fear. As opposed to looking for some primeval trigger within our supposedly fatalistic brains.
