The author believed we are born pre-wired for viewing the world a certain way. I agree with the author. If interested, I'm sure you can find the article.
Many people shuffle their value list in the face of a life threatening situation. Some people when faced with a terrible truth will minimize it, some will blame situations or people, some will be depressed, some will try to find some logic or a group of beliefs to hold on to.

I think a lot of how we respond to things IS prewired. That genetically all of our lives we either get mad fast, or overthink things or worry a lot or just keep plugging..

Instinct makes us protect our selves and our kin first. Humans indeed are very complex.

I most likely will vote the same way I did last time, but again like last time, I wish I had someone to vote for that I had more faith in.
