The main goal of his research is to understand moral and political beliefs: what they are, where they come from, and what they do. He pursues these questions in the broader interdisciplinary context of cultural evolution.</p><p> </p><p>In this episode, we talk about the sociology of morality. We discuss the relationship between morality and politics, how we can combine sociology with cultural evolution. We talk about how cultural change occurs. We discuss whether people individually update their beliefs when faced with new information, and whether and how people change their political beliefs. Finally, we talk about differences between liberals and conservatives, and criticisms of moral foundations theory.</p><p>--</p><p>A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK
