408. Jordan Peterson & Sam Harris Try to Find Something They Agree On
The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast
**Sam Harris on Moral Confusion in Well-Educated People. Even Salk institute! **
Moral confusion is evident in well-educated individuals who make fine-grained distinctions about moral norms in 21st century America, but become tongue-tied when asked to consider the mistreatment of individuals by the Taliban.

This moral confusion leads to the belief that objective moral values are impossible, and science will never have anything to say about them, ultimately ceding this ground to dogmatic religion.
