Jonathan Haidt Quotes

Religions Are Moral Exoskeletons. If You Live In A Religious Community, You Are Enmeshed In A Set Of Norms, Relationships, And Institutions That Work Primarily On The Elephant To Influence Your Behavior. But If You Are An Atheist Living In A Looser Community With A Less Binding Moral Matrix, You Might Have To Rely Somewhat More On An Internal Moral Compass, Read By The Rider. That Might Sound Appealing To Rationalists, But It Is Also A Recipe For Anomie - Durkheim's Word For What Happens To A Society That No Longer Has A Shared Moral Order.63 (It Means, Literally, "normlessness.") We Evolved To Live, Trade, And Trust Within Shared Moral Matrices. When Societies Lose Their Grip On Individuals, Allowing All To Do As They Please, The Result Is Often A Decrease In Happiness And An Increase In Suicide, As Durkheim Showed More Than A Hundred Years Ago.
