Ethics, politics and psychology are all far more difficult to understand now that we know the depths to which human nature can sink.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think politics come out of psychology.
Human beings understand too much.
The purpose of psychology is to give us a completely different idea of the things we know best.
If we knew more about psychology, we would be better equipped to deal with other people's psychological damage which they might project onto us.
In just about every area of society, there's nothing more important than ethics.
We are naturally moral beings, but our environments can enhance - or, sadly, degrade - this innate moral sense.
Why are empirical questions about how the mind works so weighted down with political and moral and emotional baggage?
My opinions about human nature are shared by many psychologists, linguists, and biologists, not to mention philosophers and scholars going back centuries.
Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be.
Politics and ethics belong to different worlds.
