    Analysis of the Moral Roots of Conservatives and Liberals

    Jonathan Haidt: Moral Roots of Conservatives/Liberals

    Video shown during my Intro to Psych Lecture, really great insight into the Psychological factors which determine a person's morals and sociopolitical dispositions.

    Let the Nanotargeting Begin - NYTimes.com
    The human mind cannot grasp the causes of phenomena in the aggregate. But the need to find these causes is inherent in man’s soul. And the human intellect, without investigating the multiplicity and complexity of the conditions of phenomena, any one of which taken separately may seem to be the cause, snatches at the first, the most intelligible approximation to a cause, and says: “This is the cause!"

    Very interesting.

    I personally wanted to see him explore the whole axis of political alignments.

    Acknowledgement of libertarians at the start, but no mention otherwise. :(

    The left/right is good, but a statist/anti-statist incorporation would be good as well.

    I'd say both conservatives and progressives are split down the middle into differing camps when it comes to statism/anti-statism.
