An interesting article, especially the part about the Moral Foundations Theory which is a concept to understand why morality varies so much across cultures. This theory consists of five values:

1. Care/harm

2. Fairness/cheating

3. Loyalty/betrayal

4. Authority/subversion

5. Sanctity/degradation

I also think that Voltaire has some valuable insight on the leftist/trans school shooting trend:

a) Psychologists and Psychiatrists should be sued beyond belief for indoctrinating our young folks instead of helping them. They have changed to convince a young, troubled young person to believe that the reason they are screwed up is that God made a mistake in the ‘gender’ identification, and that they will ‘feel better’ if they just cut their penis and balls off and whack their boobs off. When they feel worse, they become homicidal or suicidal, and the esteemed ‘psycho’ Drs. should be held responsible.

It would be interesting to identify different subgroups along these dimensions.
For example my understanding of Islamics is that they would be high on Sanctity and Authority Betrayal Cheating and Harm when faced with an out of group person. Not sure about how in group behavior is managed.

It’s not complicated.

Consider that marketing using fear as a motivator convinces people to buy $3,000,000,000 of tooth whitener each year to destroy the enamel on their teeth.

The number of zeros is correct.

Both hate and fear used as motivators trigger emotions. Emotions block rational thinking,

Repetition parks the “belief” or habit in the same part of the brain where addictions lie.

No matter what facts are presented after that will not be accepted, Instead anger will often result.
