He's also, hopefully, a better driver.
But the fact that both he and the Mercedes driver thought they were the bigger victims, that they were most harmed, Kurt says that explains the crux of why we get stuck in all kinds of heated arguments on everything from abortion to, yes, road rage.
Kurt explores all of this in his new book called Outraged, Why We Fight About Morality in Politics and How to Find Common Ground.
So today, we're digging into the psychology behind our moral outrage.
I'm Sana Khadar.
This is All in the Mind.
It certainly feels like we're more outraged than ever before, thanks to social media.
But as we know, feelings aren't necessarily fact.
So is this true?
But disagreements over political, sometimes moral, issues have become so heated, in the states especially, that two nationally representative surveys conducted by researchers at Louisiana State University and the University of Maryland found about 15% of self-identifying Republicans and 20% of self-identifying Democrats think the country would be better off if members of the opposing party just died.
which is incredible to me.
And I don't think that vibe would be similar here in Australia.
I think that's particularly American.
But psychologically and evolutionarily, how have we gotten to this point, though?
But then we faced another threat, which was other people.
Other people could steal from us or they could murder us.
And that tool is morality.
We develop stringent ideas about right and wrong, and if someone did something wrong, something immoral, outrage would be one punishment.
And Kurt says this moral sense in our minds compels us to cooperate and not harm others, and to get angry when other people might harm us or vulnerable members of society.
Kurt says the problem is that these days, the threats we face are less obvious.
