Jonathan Haidt Quotes:
Ocupation: Psychologist
Life: b. October 19, 1963
Birthday: October 19
The social intuitionist model offers an explanation of why moral and political arguments are so frustrating: because moral reasons are the tail wagged by the intuitive dog. A dog’s tail wags to communicate. You can’t make a dog happy by forcibly wagging its tail. And you can’t change people’s minds by utterly refuting their arguments.
