Where do the examples cited in Vox piece fit in Haidt's framework? Is 'Pizzagate' an accurate prediction? Was Obama really born outside the US? Did protesters at Columbia University actually support pedophilia?
- ewzimm 9y agoThis is where tribal understanding comes in. “Pizzagate” has proven to be accurate by the understanding of its proponents. The name is a joke, and it really has nothing to do with pizza; the basic premise of it is that there are pedophiles hiding in positions of power and privilege. Just about everyone knew Comet Pizza was a stretch from the beginning. People tend not to look at nuances and skepticism like this when faced with an opposing tribe’s position. In regards to Obama, most people really don’t care. It’s kind of a silly law about birth place anyway. As for the protestors, I think you will find that most people know not to trust every picture, and everything along those lines gets healthy skepticism from people on all sides of politics.
