    Everybody's a psychologist nowadays, and weirdly enough all the psychology we read that isn't clearly nonsense seems to reinforce what we already knew to be true.

    That's called confirmation bias. You should read up on it, it's fascinating. Maybe jon has some recommended reading.

      Sanctity and purity resonate far more with conservatives too.

      Jonathan Haidt did lots of work on this and published The Righteous Mind for a lay audience.

      Hsidt's "specialty" is "the psychology of morality and moral emotions".

      In other words, he's a moron.

      Have you ever considered the possibility that people who are experts in areas you know nothing about are not necessarily morons?

      Have you ever considered the possibility that I might know more about this area than you think?

            Discussing why that is would be futile, and would only make you worse.

                So what's your excuse - did you go all the way round and come out the other side?

                    Speaking of Haidt, I'm looking forward to this video, which brings together three of my favourite intellectuals.

                        You are a little unfair. The other two work in a similar field, so they are probably morons, too.
