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?

Not for one second.

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?

[Larry]

The other side of what.....

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

I’ve heard that Haidt guy is a moron.

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