  • Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them — Tribal Incentives

    Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

    This episode explores Moral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and Them by Joshua Greene as a systems-level analysis of how evolved tribal cognition influences behavior, belief formation, and institutional conflict.

    By focusing on patterns rather than individuals, the episode shows why polarization persists even when participants believe they are reasoning objectively. Greene’s work is examined as a structural account of how automatic emotional settings drive in-group cooperation and out-group distrust — and how deliberate reasoning can function as a cross-tribal coordination mechanism in complex, global systems.
