Morality

// November 29th, 2008 // No Comments » // TED Talk

Theres an interesting talk on TED, on morality by Jonathan Haidt. I have some concerns of labelling a person a liberal or conservative its a quite black and white thats a bad idea because most people that I know would lie in the grey region, yeah he does concede for libetarians, but thats still just 3 groups. And the results are based on a statistics of a survey (disclaimer: its a little america centric). So, there can be some apprehension about the validity of any theory that would revolve around such numbers. For all the rationality, I think its quite difficult to quantify a person’s social leanings.

I did take the test (muddying their pristine liberal data set, with askewed exposure to indian ethos and western rationality). Here are the results. I(the green) am little surprised too.
