Kurt Gray – ‘Outraged’

Kelly sits down with Kurt Gray, a professor in psychology and neuroscience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he directs the Deepest Beliefs Lab and the Center for the Science of Moral Understanding. He has a new book, “Outraged: Why We Fight About Morality and Politics and How to Find Common Ground.” 

“It feels like we are at war.” 

“It is true: we are safer today than we were at the dawn of humanity. But we don’t feel safer.” 

“If other people’s pain is like a whisper on the wind, our own pain is a scream in our ear.”
