#106: Moral Outrage with Kurt Gray

Kurt Gray studies our moral minds and how we grapple with everyday ethics. In his new book, Outraged , he explores the deep psychology of human nature and what it means for how we navigate politically divisive times. In our conversation, we do a deep dive into his perspective that morality is fundamentally about our ideas of harm , which conflicts with how other theories talk about morality. We also get into what it means for concepts to shift with time or circumstance.
