Moderates and conservatives were most accurate in their predictions, whether they were pretending to be liberals or conservatives. More important, it allowed us to assess how accurate they were by comparing people’s expectations about “typical” partisans to the actual responses from partisans on the left and the right)’ Who was best able to pretend to be the other? This design allowed us to examine the stereotypes that each side held about the other. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out as a “typical conservative” would respond. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out as they think a “typical liberal” would respond. We asked more than two thousand American visitors to fill out the Moral Foundations Qyestionnaire. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out normally, answering as themselves. In a study I did with Jesse Graham and Brian Nosek, we tested how well liberals and conservatives could understand each other. Sanctity is religious mumbo-jumbo whose only function is to suppress female sexuality and justify homophobia. Loyalty to a group shrinks the moral circle it is the basis of racism and exclusion, they say. When I speak to liberal audiences about the three “binding” foundations – Loyalty, Authority, Sanctity – I find that many in the audience don’t just fail to resonate they actively reject these concerns as immoral. From page 334 of The Righteous Mind (emphasis added): She mentioned that she and Weiss had been at a number of “cancel culture dinners” where people were “discussing their thoughts on it.” Frankly, the idea of hearing anything discussed at said dinners makes me want to pull my eardrums out, but I would love to know what was on the menu.Haidt describes a study in which he examines how well liberals, conservatives, and moderates understand each other. Kardashian was much more expansive earlier in the podcast when discussing her estranged husband, social media, and cancel culture. She doesn’t like titles but believes in “fighting for what’s right.” And while Kardashian doesn’t call herself a Democrat or Republican, she believes “in the rights that the Democrats want” and “in the taxes that the Republicans want.” That’s right, she’s socially liberal and fiscally conservative, just like you were in high school, only she has a billion bucks.
Elsewhere in the rapid fire round at the end of the pod-which, to its own self-aware credit, asserts in its promotional material that “the most interesting conversations in American life now happen in private”-Weiss asked Kardashian if she is a feminist. That was, it turned out, just a warm-up in the evasive olympiad. What a setup, Bari,” said Kardashian, who has been making the tabloid rounds with Pete Davidson lately. Former New York Times Opinion writer turned unaccredited-university cofounder Bari Weiss had Kim Kardashian on the old podcast this week, where she asked the reality star for the identity of her favorite Saturday Night Live cast member.
