Additional quotes by Jonathan Haidt

Everyone cares about fairness, but there are two major kinds. On the left, fairness often implies equality, but on the right it means proportionality — people should be rewarded in proportion to what they contribute, even if that guarantees unequal outcomes.

But the fact is that we care a lot about what others think of us. The only people known to have no sociometer are psychopaths.

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

Education should not be intended to make people comfortable, it is meant to make people think. - Jonathan Haidt
