    Jonathan Haidt

    Lmao, people are still taking this grifter seriously? Dude writes a book crying about trigger warnings, safe spaces, and statues of slavers being torn down and somehow I’m supposed to believe that actually he’s right this time?

    It’s a pity I have a conscience because telling people what they want to hear seems to be lucrative.

      And his theory of morality seems to be just an elaborate justification for how conservative viewpoints are equally valid (or even more valid, because it claims that conservatives care about all foundations equally, rather than some of them), or a long-winded “very fine people, on both sides”.

      And the additional foundations that conservatives care about are all shitty reasons to support something (loyalty, authority, sanctity).
