I wish more people would read Jane Jacob's system of survival since I think it's a good breakdown of liberal/conservative. It's also an excellent book that's not that long and easy to read.

Liberals are A conservatives are B. Society needs both. Neither are inherently bad, it's probably more that humans/life/society is cruel by nature.

Moral Syndrome A       Moral Syndrome B
shun force       shun trading
voluntary agreement       exert prowess
be honest       be obedient and disciplined
collaborate       adhere to tradition
compete       respect hierarchy
respect contracts       be loyal
use initiative and enterprise       take vengeance
open to inventiveness and novelty       deceive for the sake of the task
be efficient       make rich use of leisure
promote comfort and convenience       be ostentatious
dissent for the sake of the task       dispense largesse
invest for productive purposes       be exclusive
be industrious       show fortitude
be thrifty       be fatalistic
be optimistic       treasure honor

Thanks for explaining. I did a bad job explaining it, but I'm only taking a short break irl and am just jumping into this conversation. I've removed that section of my comment.

The book explains this in more detail and I recommend it. We don't get much deep discussion into what it means to be conservative/liberal and the purpose of the book isn't to go into that but it does provide a framework. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Jacobs

But now your comment is just "here's 10 hour read that explains everything, I will not elaborate" like in this post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/26206134

You can at least leave info about what it should explain, at best you can summarise, but it is possible that you will not persuade people to read that.

From the wiki page, it looks like the idea behind the book is viable, but nothing is scientific about it, no research, no further developments, it's just how the author sees the system work. This may be insightful but should be taken with a large grain of salt
