The Tribal Mind: Moral Reasoning and Public Discourse — The American Magazine

This article goes into more detail than the one I talked about in the previous post. The Tribal Mind: Moral Reasoning and Public Discourse — The American Magazine He also refers to the work of Jonathan Haidt who wrote The Happiness Hypothesis and The Righteous Mind, two of my favorite books. Objectivists and libertarians would benefit by reading both, in particular the later book.

Tribal Politics in the 21st Century — The American Magazine

One of these days I plan to write something on Arnold Kling's essay on the three languages of politics. (Actually have something in close to final draft stage.) In the meantime I highly recommend this summary: Tribal Politics in the 21st Century — The American Magazine. I think what he says about libertarians can be extended to Objectivists as well with minor modifications.

I'm sharing this also because I think Kling's identification of these models can help us craft our message so that it stands a better chance of being heard.
