Hi, Two Thirds. Some days I feel like I live in an alternate universe.
My brother for instance. Brilliant. Off the charts IQ. He's turned liberal. And he used to be more conservative than me! It's driving his Baptist, sweet wife nuts. He listens to NPR, for goodness sake. It's like a pod person has taken over his body and I want my brother back.
Sorry to hear that about your brother, Peach. Unfortunately, intelligence has little or nothing to do with politics and religion. I don't really know what determine's a person's political convictions. It seems to have possibly something to do with insanity sometimes (e.g. sean penn). Other times it seems to have something to do with believing lies carte blanch without investigating the facts (lots of people I know personally). It is truly a deep mystery.
