Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Keith Payne (on the psychology behind the political divide)

And you're trying to be good, actually.

Keith Payne (on the psychology behind the political divide)

Yeah, and also I'll be stealing Jelani Cobb. Do you know who Jelani Cobb is? He's a Columbia professor. I heard him speak this weekend and he told this incredible story. So this is his. I think what can happen when you start there is this example. Jelani is a Brooklynite. He hates the Red Sox, was flying to LA to see the Dodgers play the Red Sox.

And obviously he's going there with the hopes that the Dodgers will destroy the Red Sox. And he's sitting next to a guy on the plane. And that guy is also a New Yorker flying to L.A. to see this game. And he assumes that he's hoping that the Red Sox will get slashed. And the guy says, I'm hoping the Red Sox win. And he's immediately can't compute why this New Yorker would be doing that.

What a betrayal of being a New Yorker. What kind of guy is this guy? Was he secretly always a Red Sox fan? And he continues to talk to the guy and he discovers that in this guy's rationale, the Yankees had lost to the Red Sox to go play the Dodgers. So if the Dodgers beat the Red Sox, it means the Yankees were the third best team.

But if the Red Sox smashed the Dodgers, the Yankees are probably the second best team. And John, he's like, that makes a ton of sense. I'm not going to be rooting for the Red Sox in this contest. But wow, wouldn't have even thought of this bizarre way you could come to this. And it's pretty defendable. Right.

It's not going to be my opinion, but it changes the person to a maniac who's rooting for the Red Sox when he's a New Yorker into, no, it's in a weird way or a different way than his still supporting the Yankees somehow. And I think so many of our divides are that way. We're assuming the kind of worst case scenario of why they've come to this opinion.

They have hate in their heart or they have all these different things. And you might minimally learn that there's a different cause for this thing. And you can still... You can still vote the way you want to vote and have all your core beliefs.
