Two crazy social scientists psychologists sit down and talk shop with the thread title as the main topic. Very dense and fast paced. I may go through the video and list the works/research/books that they bring up.




"I recently traveled to New York University to talk with Dr. Jonathan Haidt about, among other things, disgust, purity, fear and belief; the perilous state of the modern university; and his work with Heterodox Academy (HeterodoxAcademy.org | To improve the quality of research and education in universities by increasing viewpoint diversity, mutual understanding, and constructive disagreement) an organization designed to draw attention to the lack of diversity of political belief in the humanities and the social sciences.

Dr. Haidt is Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University's Stern School of Business and a social psychologist. He studies the psychology of morality and the moral emotions. He has been described as a top global thinker by both Foreign Policy and Prospect magazines. Dr. Haidt is the author of three books:
