You continue to obfuscate, misrepresent, and outright lie about what you said and the claims you've made. The history is right above us, it's clear to me and anyone who is reading this what you've really done. This conversation is pointless, you're not willing to be honest or engage with legitimacy. It is a fact that people are capable of changing their political views, your own citations demonstrate that quite clearly, and your "95 percent" certainty that they cannot is a consequence of your own failure to understand what you've read. I am done here, you are not a reasonable person.

You're misrepresenting what I said above. My initial claim: "political belief is caused by personality traits (e.g. orderliness) and brain structure (e.g. amygdala size)". Which is the same as all other representations I've made. I never said this was an exhaustive list of causes, which would obviously be a ridiculous claim to make. I'm not sure why you keep asserting that I'm changing my view, maybe you can point that out if it's true? ""95 percent" certainty that they cannot" It's deeply ironic that you're accusing me of misrepresentation when you're throwing out these strawmen. I never said that I'm 95 percent certain that people can't change their political views. That's a straw man. I said I'm 95 percent certain in my conclusion that there are nontrivial biological causes to political orientation and belief. I think you're right that we should leave it here.
