Understanding the simple fact that morality differs around the world, and even within societies, is the first step toward understanding your righteous mind.

The social intuitionist model offers an explanation of why moral and political arguments are so frustrating: because moral reasons are the tail wagged by the intuitive dog. A dog’s tail wags to communicate. You can’t make a dog happy by forcibly wagging its tail. And you can’t change people’s minds by utterly refuting their arguments.

People bind themselves into political teams that share moral narratives. Once they accept a particular narrative, they become blind to alternative moral worlds.

Our moral thinking is much more like a politician searching for votes than a scientist searching for truth.
