With enough stimulus, yes. I read about a study that showed that the main threat processing center of the brain; the amygdala, is larger in conservative/right people than left wing ones. So presumably it follows that lefties would need a larger or more regular stimulus to achieve correction of thinking but it is possible. Maybe as society becomes more dangerous we will see a right-shift. I am also reminded of the fact that once people have children they tend to become much more right-wing, especially women. And I postulate that this is the result of greater amygdala activity caused by having a child to protect as well as oneself. I would also not be surprised if there's a connection between oxytocin (Not oxycontin don't confuse the two), a bounding neurotransmitter that is released in great amounts during sex and childbirth, and amygdala activity. But I'm not a neurologist so I couldn't tell you about the last part for certain.

@Polfusilier
The threat processing is turned off...
Doesn't that imply, that they can be scared into thinking property?

That might be actually a great idea.
Can you imagine how much will they save on makeup, when making the new Star Trek?

Not gonna lie, if true, this has to be the most badass way of burning money.

At that point, I might buy it off from him too just to not look like a total asshole.

That sounds to me, like artificial lifetime extension.
(You lose 30% of power in an year, but it gets replaced so you won't notice its dying.)
