That is super interesting! I recognize I tend to think in absolutes an try to adjust for it. I also am tempted by elegant solutions over practical ones. I get stuck on consistency as a value. Not that consistency or elegance are bad, if they work. I'll add that Haidt's analysis that the value placed on compassion relative to loyalty or fairness is a good predictor of party rings true. Compassion > fairness -> democrat Compassion = fairness -> republican Compassion < fairness -> libertarian

That works until globalization takes your job to Singapur and the left wing party that you vote for starts saying that we should let all the poor inmigrants in because it isn't fair to let them die in Libya. Then the left becomes a high-income urban professionals ideology while the blue collar workers start voting Trump or Johnson... Hillary said just as much a few months ago.
