Jonathan Haidt | Anxiety, Social Media & Moral Decline
:::
The human mind is a story processor, not a logic processor.
~ Jonathan Haidt
:::
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.
