Ep. 342: Why We're Outraged ft. Kurt Gray

Prof. Kurt Gray, director of the Deepest Beliefs Lab at UNC and author of the new book “Outraged: Why We Fight About Morality and Politics and How to Find Common Ground,” joins Jordan to talk about why Americans are deeply divided over issues of morality, how to think about people on the other side and how to find common ground in conversations. They explore the roots of fear and security in our minds, how that evolved into moral codes, how protecting the vulnerable is consistent in most of our minds but who falls into the “vulnerable” category varies, and best practices for talking to people with different politics.
