How Our Politics Influences Where We Live | Jonathan Haidt

why is it so hard for us to understand each other what goes wrong what why are we all subject to confirmation bias tribalism blindness here people used to be mixed up we had racial segregation but by class and by politics people lived somewhat near each other and what's been happening increasingly with Rising prosperity and Rising choice is self-segregation by class certainly which is very destructive but also by politics my former student Matt Motel has analyzed large-scale data sets when somebody moves from point A to point B on average if they're on the left on average they're moving to a place with more coffee shops and fewer gun stores whereas if they're on the right it's the opposite so as as the other side becomes further away and increasingly demonized then yes this moral humility becomes harder and harder
