Jordan Peterson ~ Why Can't You Let Go Of An Unfair Treatment?

this way I can get the information to better discussed is considered to be one of the basic human emotions defined by the strong revulsion and desire to withdraw from it eliciting stimulus or event Darwin noted this back in 1872 he was the first person to note that disgust was a basic emotion physically disgust is accompanied by a distinct facial expression involving constriction of the oral and nasal cavities you know and that's a really good way to insult someone you know all you have to do to really insult someone's make a disgust face out the Marne something they said they really do not like that because basically what you're saying is you're kind of like a parasite or an infectious disease evolutionary models have discussed proposed that this emotion evolved to help us avoid contaminated or harmful foods or other potential sources of diseases such as sexual contact in addition to its role in directly helping to expel harmful foods from the body disgust also forms an important component of the behavioural immune system the suite of psychological mechanisms that aid in the detection and avoidance of potential contaminants before they can make contact with the body means obsessive-compulsive disorder you know people who will touch something that they regard as contaminated then rush off to wash their hands and wash and wash and wash like some of them will wash delete the soaps gone they'll have showers till they run out of hot water like they just can't stop that's part of obsessive compulsive disorder it looks like it's a disorder of disgust even though it's classified with the anxiety disorders harsh inducing disgust responses whether via a follow order a disgusting work environments or recalling a disgusting experience leads individuals to assign harsher punishments to others who had committed moral transgressions ha here's something else salt so if you're judges if your judge is easily disgusted then you've done something relatively disgusting or maybe if the courtroom doesn't smell so good that day well then you're going to end up in jail longer and also here's the worst situation go into court and you're applying for parole okay and it's just before lunch and the courtroom doesn't smell good it's like you're not going to get parole because hungry judges are much more likely to deny you parole and then of course judges who are sensitive to disgust are going to regard your moral transgression as harsher and you can crime that and so you I think the data showed that judges after lunch are like 70% more likely to grant parole it's like it's whether or not the judge is hungry ISM more is a bigger determinant of whether or not you get parole than what you've done it's really quite it's really quite funny you know unless you're up for parole harsher moral judgments can even be induced following the consumption of a bitter Drake because people are often disgusted by bitterness in addition the same disgust related facial expressions are observed in response to unpleasant tastes disgusting photographs and receiving unfair treatment in an economic game so our sense of justice that's a weird thing our sense of justice seems to be who would guess that a that it's that it's that it's centered in our you know from a biological perspective in the systems that mediate disgust so I've seen this you know among people who who've received an injustice you know so so something's been done to them that's not good and they're often unable to let it go partly because they're disgusted with themselves for not responding to it properly it's like you know if someone throws a dart at you and then it's like you have a moral obligation to respond to that right and you can think about a dis anger or something like that but part of it also seems to be that you're ashamed if you don't respond and you can see that sort of thing happening in cultures of honor you know where if if purity is violated you see these in these situations where you know a father may be kills his daughter which happens reasonably often because she's violating some sort of social norm part of the idea is that well you know if you don't respond harshly to something that's associated with disgust then you bring dishonor on your entire family and maybe your own your entire community and you know we don't like that sort of thinking in the West but well but the reasons that we don't approve of that sort of thinking we think it's because we're liberal but I think the evidence suggests that the reason that we don't approve of those sorts of behaviors is because we live in a very clean environment and we have plumbing and so there's all sorts of things that we do that reduce the probability that we're going to be contaminated by parasites or infectious diseases and so that means that we don't feel that it's necessary to respond as harshly to moral transgressions and you know you might think well I doubt it but let me show you the evidence because it's it's unbelievable concerns about cleanliness and feelings of disgust have likewise be related to political attitudes situational reminders of the importance of physical cleanliness such as asking participants to wipe their hands with antiseptic wipes tends to increase self-reported political conservatism such a finding is consistent with the notion that purity tends to be valued more by conservatives than by liberals individuals who report being disgusted more easily also tend to hold more conservative political views on topics including abortion gay marriage tax cuts and affirmative action in addition to the effects that have emerged when using self-report disgust sensitivity more conservative political views have also been associated with stronger physiological reactivity to disgusting images we found that conservatives are not only more aroused by disgusting stimulant they're more aroused by any stimuli happiness hunger fear you name it it affects the conservative more than the liberal and then we've also found that if you put you take undergraduates and you expose them to videos that induce various physiological states happiness sadness fear disgust and then we also asked people how long it was since they last ate well if you put people in one of those emotional or motivational states and then you show them political speeches the more emotional they are or the hungrier the more they like conservative speeches so that was actually very interesting so a large literature has converged on the notion that there are two core dimensions of conservative political ideology resistance to change and tolerance of inequality okay resistance to change reflects the extent to which people wish to maintain the status quo while tolerance of inequality reflects the acceptance of an unequal distribution of resources and opportunities within society you know and so there's the sort of the idea that the best rise to the top and the best is moral and the top is the right place for the best people to be and then you might ask well why is the top the best I mean why do we assume that the top of the dominance arc is the right place to be well part of it is of course that the closer you are to the top of the dominants arc especially if you're male the more likely it is that you're going to you know be attractive to people of the opposite sex so there's that's partly it but then this other thing seems to be well it's actually a better it is a better place to be at the top because it's it's cleaner and safer and there are more resources there and so that accounts at least in part for the judgement of the people who are at the bottom of the hierarchy so these two dimensions appear roughly aligned with social and economic conservatism as expressed in the constructs of right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation respectively which which you could measure hypothetically with questionnaires so these four facets of conservatism are also closely related to to higher order value dimensions described in moral foundations theory which reflect preferences for order and tradition on the one hand and preferences precount Arianism on the other okay so we'll leave that part political conservatives conservatism confessed be thought of as a social immune system reflecting the extension of pathogen avoidance mechanisms to the integrity of the social system just as the behavioral immune system is being conceptualized as helping to maintain the purity and integrity of an individual body so too may the same pathogen avoidance system help to maintain the abstract integrity of the social order in particular the social immune system would help to maintain order by suppressing any actions or individuals that deviate from a groups accepted social traditions so it has been reported for instance that regions with higher levels of disease preference prevalence tend to be associated with higher levels of social conformity and autocratic rule individuals who feel more vulnerable to disease likewise report higher of ethnocentrism and xenophobia such basic concerns about pathogen avoidance made us contribute to the desire for order and tradition among conservatives along with the harsh moral judgments associated with violations of the social order
