    The problem with having a compass as the symbolic representation of morality is that due north is not a fixed point. Liane Young, Boston College associate professor and director of the Morality Lab, explains how context, bias, and tribal affiliation influence us enormously when we pass moral judgments.
    Moral instinct is tainted by cognitive bias. Humans evolved to be more lenient to their in-groups-for example excusing a beloved politician who lines their pockets while lambasting a colleague for the exact same transgression-and to care more about harm done close to them than harm done farther away, for example, to people in another country.
    The challenge for humans in a globalized and polarized world is to become aware of our moral biases and learn to apply morality more objectively. How can we be more rational and less hypocritical about our morals? "I think that clarifying the value that you are consulting for a particular problem is really critical," says Young.

    LIANE YOUNG:
    Liane Young is an associate professor of psychology at Boston College, where she is the director of the Morality Lab, which specializes in moral psychology. Dr. Young’s current research focuses on the role of theory of mind and emotions in moral judgment and moral behavior. To explore these topics, she uses the methods of social psychology and cognitive neuroscience, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and examination of patient populations with specific cognitive deficits. Dr. Young’s insight and findings have appeared in The New York Times, National Public Radio, MSNBC, U.S. News & World Report, CNN, ABC News, and CBS.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    TRANSCRIPT:
    LIANE YOUNG: What makes morality unique is that a lot of times people experience a moral judgment as a flash of intuition or feeling, good or bad. But underneath that feeling is complex moral psychological structure.
    NARRATOR: We think that our morals are steadfast, as if they were set in stone or inscribed in ink, but it turns out our morals are far more fluid than we'd like to believe.
    YOUNG: Studying moral psychology allows us access to other's perspectives, that others could have different values. And so just knowing that there is this complex space of moral psychology could help us to understand where other people are coming from.
    I'm Liane Young. I'm a psychology professor at Boston College. And in my lab, we study human moral decision-making. A key question in our lab right now is what the role of reasoning is for moral psychology. So, when do people and how do people think about different principles for making moral decisions?
    NARRATOR: Morality might seem like a compass needle, always guiding us north. But as we start to add information and context that trigger biases, the needle begins to spin.
    YOUNG: Moral cognition depends hugely on context. So, if I tell you about somebody who helped a stranger, you would say, they're much better than the person who helped their brother. But if I told you about a person who helped the stranger instead of the brother, you wouldn't think they're very good at all. And it turned out through the research that we did, it was really people's intuitions about familial obligation that structured people's moral intuitions across all of these different cases.
    NARRATOR: We may say adultery is wrong, but if it's a friend who we know well, who had a troubled marriage, maybe we're more forgiving. We say stealing is wrong, but we might be more understanding of our favorite politician when they're caught lining their pockets. We do this all the time.
    YOUNG: The point is that there are lots of different contextual influences that contribute to people's moral judgments.
    NARRATOR: Morality has evolved with our species because of human's practical and psychological need for social bonds, but even early human societies began codifying morality into laws and norms that were meant to be applied universally.
    YOUNG: Back in evolutionary time, people didn't interact with others across the world. We interacted with the people in our family, the people that we could see. It's because of that, moral psychology has developed these sorts of biases that have to do with social distance. So, we think that the harm that is being done up close and personal, right in front of us matters more than the harm that is being done to so...

      The principle of reducing harm to people. This principle is the basic intuitive approach that governs our society's morals. But the application is currently really terrible, coz it takes into account only physical harm and neglects spiritual harm. This boosts the tendency of self-justice, disbelief in respective justice authority, moral retardation and suicide. I think that with the progress of psychology and neuroscience towards the level of medicine, we will be able to optimize this principle better.

      Being skeptical of my own intuitions when I can manage it, while knowing others might not have either the will, temperament, or tools to do the same. It's a fundamentally disruptive act, and if my tribe doesn't support critical thinking, I risk my words being intuited as a sort of betrayal. Edit: I've come to doubt the casual definition of "good faith" in conversation, because almost nobody makes their core presuppositions vulnerable - and why would they? It's not fun.
      Faith systems that see doubt as weakness, and the general "with us or against us" trope spring to mind.

    Synopsis: Context matters when making moral judgments. We care more about what happens to those close to us than those an ocean away because we didn't evolve to be overly concerned about what happens to others outside our family/tribe. Finding common values is the path to a more morally consistent world.

      Seems however that millennials are concerned about things in a larger scale. I myself being one, don't just ignore the outside world, what happens all over is a weight I carry all day everyday. Living in my broken country, people have pleaded for aid for years, but nobody els out there cares, not the US or the UN even. Footage of horrific events that would shake most people to their core, was merely ignored and forgotten like it's whatever. Thus I noticed people across the pond don't give a flying about what happens to others, only about those in their immediate vicinity. Humanity won't ever really be one with how everyone disregards eachother.

      Idk, this makes no sense to me.
      When I'm playing a video game, there is the understanding that it's a game, and as such morality doesn't apply to your actions in the game. There is no one to be hurt or harmed.
      When playing online multiplayer games, I don't just team kill or harass other players, because there is an actual human being that can be affected.

      @@captspaulding8530 no, that doesn't prove your point. In order for something to be morally wrong, it has to cause harm. Committing crimes in say grand theft auto, doesn't harm anyone because the other characters are computer generated.
      That's very different than having no consequences. An example of "no consequences" could be team killing in multiplayer games or being toxic to other players. That I won't do because it causes harm to others, even though there are no consequences for it.

    "Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself." - Marcus Aurelius
    If you do the inverse, you see holy wars, crusades and all-destroying moral panics (like the witch burning in Salem or the Satanism scare of 1960).
    Also don't blame other on your feelings. Focus on improving yourself instead of focusing how you want other to improve.
    If people around you see you doing better, sure it will be crabs in a basket at first, but eventually they will be inspired and follow in your footsteps.

    I think moral people who tolerate immoral behavior learn that social conditioning. Of course, moral behavior is contextual and depends on the situation at hand, but this leads to the question of why society as a whole tolerates corruption and the injustices of the world where bombs get dropped daily on innocent civilian territory, _all in the name of profits and greed, over the minor amounts of resources that only a few rich people amass._
    Maybe the question can be pointed back to why people tolerate psychopathy, sociopathy, and enable narcissism on a grand scale. That’s one thing Confucian as a philosophy gets right: morals start within the family. If you raise spoiled, entitled, unrmpathic children, you get very immoral unhealthy adults. And even Asian cultures who have strayed away from Taoist beliefs have started to go back to incivility.
    Everything starts in the home. Loving parents who don’t teach their children boundaries, empathy and respect are just as to blame as parents whom are abusive, neglectful and teach their kids tough love _without_ compassion.

    Empathy is a selfless emotion of our conscience which constantly reminds the selfish emotions of our ego to recognize,understand and respect the emotions of all others in our relationships with them. The profundity of the ration and meaning of empathy is such that it alone is required to govern the relationships between all individuals,groups and species of lifeforms and enables Life to exist as one. Life is the animated manifestation of the ration which determines and governs the existence of the universe. When you understand the ration and meaning of our emotions it is easy to declare with great confidence that, Ration is the meaning of Life and the Universe. Emotions are principles of ration coupled to the means, the only means, from which we have the capacity to derive meaning from. When we have absolutely no capacity for emotions, we have absolutely no capacity to derive meaning therefore, some very intelligent, conscious and relatively rational human beings end our own existence. With empathy, Pete.

    my moral scenes is pretty simple do not create suffering as much posible specially if it is in vain, do not waist effort of good will. most people dont really priorice good an evils, just self felling happy. and own initiative about finding the true to late in to many circumstance that may cases become way more complicated and the sume of spiritual irresponsibility become one the biggest obstacle to make a goods of human prosperity. attachment of tradition it may become a excuse to do not face the changes and thinking to capture the new paradigm of value. energy and fiscally counter intuitive of efforts.

    Of course pandemic changes this too( it's also our fault we overpopulated the planet and settled for mass food production and resource abuse to balance everything)
    So everything in moderation includes cannibalism but also minimalism and botulism(lol).a sense of humor about ourselves( especially in our finiteness) helps too.

    That's a lie. There are morals that never change. You set them within yourself. I was brainwashed and tortured for years because I was set up against my husband deliberately trying to get me to cheat. I had been set up once by my husband trying to incriminate me when I was innocent and he was cheating on me constantly. Then I cheated on him once and it was a big mistake. Then I had him and a "friend" mess with me and abuse in horribly to try to get me to cheat again. I was extremely physically and mentally I'll the entire time. I left for an abuse shelter. My morals are now uncompromisable. I was stolen as a newborn and abused and experimented on being subjected to the worst things morally. I never liked them. I was forced to be with them for survival as a child and programmed. I will never like not one of the people I ever knew in my past. My entire life was fabricated. They take pleasure in hurting others, deceit, adultery, sexual depravity, stealing, liying, every manner of evil. I have a long way to recovery. I have an identity of my own seperate from them. I believe it is important to be moral. There is a God and our creator has definite boundaries for behavior not to be violated.

    The mechanism of "higher morality" is a new development in organisms with sufficiently large brains. Our specie is still iterating on initial versions of moral structures, and their cost/benefit. This is why you don't have humans with similar "moral compasses". Currently ranging anywhere from willing to die for their morals, to abandoning any sense of decency to survive/thrive.
    TLDR- People do fucked up shit because morality is complex and majority of our specie's members will be operating on a very flimsy/flexible moral system, because evolution is fucking slow and the individuals suffer it. Not anyone's fault, it's just deterministic.

    "We" dont think our morals are solid. That came from monotheism. Most other religions or ways of thinking took into account how different each if us are as well as how much a person changes over time. Buddhism, isn't actually as magical as people on the outside think. Buddha was one with the universe, not a spiritual thing. He claimed the universe is all spiritual, meaning its no different than physical. It's the age old question of a fish not knowing it's in water. Nothing magical, just adding infinite significance and infinite silliness.

    There are two ways to judge things and people morally.
    The first: through studies, experiments, observation and analysis, and this method can create certain standards of morality, but it is a changing method, and it may change from time to time by people or by circumstances, and ethics cannot be in this way.
    The second method: to take morals from one source, and this source sets the correct method for measuring and acquiring morals, a method that cannot be changed by changing societies or changing times. And you will not find a source that (most) people agree on except (God) the one god

    The reason I "tolerated" immoral behavior is that I was bed-bound and was being poisoned. I was being threatened with my life every day. My service dog was poisoned (and he died) as a warning. This is no fictional story. It happened. When I was finally able to escape, I went to the police and was told this happens a lot, especially by family, which was my case, and that the cases seldom gets settled. In order to pursue it, I would have to leave Colorado (my home), go back to Louisiana (where it happened), have the perpetrator arrested (which was a slim to none chance) in Texas (where she lives) and file it as a Civil case, not criminal. Our society, legal and judicial systems are set up to protect the criminals, not the victims. Worst of this is these types of "immoral" people know how the system works and they know the odds are WITH them, and odds are they are going to get away with murder. Other immoral people see this and learn how to get away with horrific crimes.
    I was lucky, my dog wasn't. I can't believe a god would allow this to continue. But Karma on the other hand...
