“I think it’s both important to look at evolution and at cultural variation, that’s the great puzzle of human morality. There is no simple answer: morality is as innate a capacity as language.”

Turi talks with the social psychologist Jonathan Haidt about opinions, where they come from, and what they are. What is moral foundations theory? Why do humans judge each other? How is social media changing the way our opinions form? Have our political institutions gone insane?
