Episode 6
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why are some people liberal and others conservative? What makes us land on the political positions that we hold?
In this episode, we discuss The Hidden Agenda of the Political Mind by Jason Weeden and Robert Kurzban, who are trying to get to the root of these questions. We present the arguments laid out by Kurzban and Weeden in the context of the abortion debate. We also debate its ramifications for political discourse in general.
