Totally caught that too. Sneaky guy, great examples of persuasive rhetoric we can use to connect to “opponents”

Essentially, if we want to convince people or explain our political ideals, we have to re-design our language to suit the listener based on their moral values.

Enjoy disagreement. If you are not confident in your argument, learn your place and concede your ignorance, then move on. Inconsequential debate can be viewed as a mental sparring match.

I don't get why libs stopped thinking like this. It seems like 5-10 years went by, and the left went from aggressively challenging the beliefs of the right, to smugly dismissing any differing opinion as racist, vulgar, irrelevant, or - best of all - stupid. I hate the right wing, but I see a greater tendency to engage in debate. They're mostly ignorant and wrong, but at least they have balls.

AsifIcarebear3 Ben Affleck on Real Time with Bill Maher was the moment I quit calling myself a liberal. He was the embodiment that night of everything you just said. And I realised after the media and most liberals sided with him against Bill and Sam that the majority of liberals have shifted away from reality into a weird overly sensitive pc place. That doesn't mean I became a conservative either, I'm just a man without a party I can identify with now.

4:21 There is a problem with this. I am strongly Libertarian. I actually find myself far more often aligned with conservatives than I do liberals with respect to policy. Yet those putatively 'conservative' values of patriotism, respect for authority, purity, etc., I find almost abhorrant. I am very much motivated by equality and fairness, care and protection. I differ from liberals because I find them combining those values with absolute ignorance of economics and ultimately thereby supporting policies that I KNOW do FAR more harm to the poor than would a free society. The vast majority of human beings support political positions for emotional reasons, as alluded to here. They are motivated by virtue signalling and tribal identity. Very few people spend time actually studying and thinking about issues. Those who do spend time reading almost invariably spend their time engaged in confirmation bias, reading material they agree with. When was the last time any of us actually read a book that we disagreed with? All those conservatives out there need to go read a book by Noam Chomsky. All the liberals need to read a book by Ann Coulter. I am not saying you need to read these people's writing so as to agree with them. I am saying that without doing so, you probably lack the perspective to have a rational opinion.

As a libertarian you certainly are caught in the middle a bit. I've read both and I find Ann Coulter pretty rough to be honest. I can't stand her views on illegal immigration. I think probably this video was an oversimplification, but I think it sounds useful for discussing things with people who I would otherwise write off thinking, "eh, they don't think about this enough, I can't persuade them." Because I'm probably using the wrong persuasive techniques for those people. For someone who is Libertarian, I would probably discuss things in terms of personal liberty or spending concerns. What you're missing when you see yourself aligned more with conservatives on policy is that you're still not aligned with republicans. A lot of republicans are not conservative in their policy. Remember there's a difference between someone saying they are conservative, and actually thinking conservatively

I thought this video was pretty condescending towards conservatives. Saying they are easily manipulated by the particular language used in articles, and liberals aren't. Saying liberals are concerned with equality while conservatives are concerned with patriotism (Murica!), respect authority (Moar Military!) and purity/sanctity (religious idiots and their pro-life). When in reality conservatives care about debt and government spending. They care about freedom of the individual and individual rights. Saying Liberals believe in equality and fairness is absurd because of course conservatives care about those things, they just think that obsessing over identity politics creates more of a divide and ironically creates less equality and fairness as a result. Wasn't a huge fan of this talk, came off as a guide for liberals on how to talk with conservatives, that was given by a liberal. That's like an article on how to please a man, written by a woman. If you want to bridge the gap, get two smart people on either side, who respect each other, hash it out

When the speaker talked about the moral divide they studied, he did say those people "endorsed" those values, which I took to mean that those are the values they'll *say* they stand by and hold most important. That, of course, means they could hold those other values important as well, but just not their Number One Concern. This would've been a good point for the speaker to clear up. It would've been a good idea to give as thorough an example of wording affecting liberals equally, I agree. I don't think his "the same thing happens for liberals, too" said in passing was meant to showcase conservatives in particular: maybe he thought making two similar cases would have been overly repetitive. Despite some flaws, I thought the talk was good overall. To use your analogy, it had examples of how to please a man for women, but the point was more about how to make up with your partner: considering how the other side sees a topic and showing how their values line up with it.

Excellent talk....

Nowadays, it seems everybody already knows everybody’s political position. When I debate those who have differing opinions to my own, I find it more helpful to point out flaws in their logic rather than asserting my position over theirs. Really liking the way he is framing language here though, I never thought about it in this way. Definitely will be tying in some patriotic and purist language when speaking to the most patriotic of our country from now on.

So basically, in the pursuit to enhance communication, you developed a weapon, that plays on peoples morality. This isnt a solution. Not just will we, if this way of framing debates catches on, see it dulled down pretty quick, due to overuse, we will go into debates with the expectation to be manipulated. The solution for this divide we are in is not to create better weapons, but to become better people, that are willing to compromise, but also willing to recognize facts that we do not like, or agree on approaches that we might not like. This also means accepting defeat or failure. Its either that, or blood in the streets in my opinion.

The argument here is that in many debate, the only way to approach it is not only from the "right side" (your side) with only your moral attached to it. In general, you can argument for something taking different approach and you can reach the other where he might care more, in a way he didn't think about it before. The thing is the debate is less and less nuanced and people just use their moral code and their view of life, then try to not really argument and persuade others but more to assimilate. There are some very patriotic argument in protecting the environment that I would not necessarily use since I don't value them as much but can be effective to connect with other point of view. Same with an argument for drilling oil. If it is nuanced correctly and you argue it will bring jobs in a poorer part of the country, giving more chances for those people for the future, I'll be way more inclined to listen to you than if you said it is just good for the economy

I understand your concern, simply using this as a tactic to advance your ideas with people on an emotional level without any other argument would be misguided. But SO much political discussion is emotion appeal anyway. People respond to it much quicker than a nuanced argument with well researched evidence I'm afraid. Human beings aren't creatures of logic... However, this whole video is about having better conversations. Talking to people in real life, not on a debate stage. Understanding peoples values, so that they are initially more receptive to an new idea, is a great thing. It means they are less likely to disregard factual evidence, because of their emotions, later on. Or at least that's what I hope is the case...

What we need is a captain Picard to make sense of things and get this ship back on course. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was onto something when he said that when you go to vote there should be an option for None of the Above, and then you toss out the crappy candidates and start the process all over until you get someone qualified that every one can respect, like captain Picard.

That is the Ranked Choice Voting system. It allows you to rank your options sincerely, even if you have a "no chance" first option. Because you rank your choices, if your first pick doesn't win, the vote goes to the second option, and so on, so strategic voting is not such an issue, third parties can appear, everyone's preferences are maximally in line with the elected options. It's really keeping things clean in terms of voting and allows everyone's option to be heard.

And I'm sitting here, as a non-USA-inhabitant, in a country where there are many political parties, and votes for non-major parties are not considered wasted, asking myself, why it is that they do not even want to try and vote for other parties. Better "wasting" your vote in a democratic way, than supporting the wrong with not voting. Why choose between Evil 1 and Evil 2 if you can grap that gold piece right next to them. And on top of that is your electoral college, that makes the "best and greatest" democracy, the most flawed one, as votes are not worth the same.

You answered your own question. We don't want to try to vote for other parties because our electoral college makes a vote for a third party candidate a waste. Also because it is very rarely a vote between evil 1 and evil 2. Last year was a vote between candidate 1 who is mediocre and candidate 2 who is a disaster. We picked candidate 2. Anyone who says the choices were equally bad is being disingenuous.

To be fair the problem is the huge amounts of money that is required to run a campaign in the US. It's not like anyone can just take part in the spotlight. And tbh from what I've seen from the other candidates (libertarian party for example) I would not try to equal anyone of them to a piece of gold. Only reason they seem like viable options is because of the low standard of this years candidates. I think the only one that could've been equaled to the piece of gold might be Bernie, but he is part of a political party (the Dems) and endorsed their candidate so that wasn't an option either reaally.

Courtney Lauren: It's not specifically the electoral college that makes voting for third party candidates a waste. The EC is bad, but not for that reason. It's the fact that we can only vote for one candidate, that makes voting for a third party candidate a waste (See CGP Grey's video on the problems with First Past the Post voting, and his subsequent videos). Other countries have better systems, where you can rank your choices, or assign percentages to choices, or in some other way make it so that you can have a first choice, a second choice, a third choice, and so on. There's a push to have that here as well. fairvote.org. The Presidential election is the only one that requires an amendment; in all the local and state-level elections (including voting for your Congresspeople and Senators), the state determines the rules, so you can lobby your Assemblyperson.

I like it how he tries to exert his moral framing strategy in the end after talking about it the whole time. =D

I always say that trying to understand the other side's perspective is beneficial for a lot of reasons - even if your goal is not to be civil or respectful, but just to convince them of something, understanding their framework of beliefs gives you a huge advantage in your ability to communicate with them. I agree, I think this is pretty obvious, but I see a lot of people arguing against it anyway.

there was a similar type of "plea for political peace" article generated by a GA Tech newsletter. they interviewed a professor who discussed the topic of political correctness, which seemed pretty unbiased, but the newsletter editor sprinkled in his own biased commentary like "conservatives blame the left of being PC simply whenever they disagree". there's your problem right there, it's that "do as I say, not as I do" mentality

90% of viewers probably missed Rob Willer's conclusion where he tied Conservative & Liberal P.O.V.s (patriotism, purity, equality ,etc.) previously mentioned to persuade either of the political parties in favor of changing the nation.

If we all start twisting the argument to persuade the other side, we still won't come to a consensus.

Step 1: Open the platform for discussion (which you claim to stand for) instead of disabling comments and bullying any content creators that disagree with you.

Facebook, Twitter, etc. can only be part of the problem because of the content people post. If positivity would be louder, they would instead can be part of the solution

Interesting talk. My main issue is that there were no examples from a conservative point of view reframed as to convince liberals, only the other way around. No stats about doing the environmental study the other way around. I'm really interested in how you could reframe issues like gay marriage, environmental protection or abortion in a way to convince liberal people. If one set of people rely heavily on statistics and studies and the other side relies on the way they feel about things, one side might be easier to convince by reframing than the other. Just my two cents, happy that people are at least trying to bring actual discussions to the table.

Political debate today is like trying to play soccer vs someone playing American football. It doesn't matter how logical your arguments are, you will still be slapped in the face by personal attacks and name calling. The best way to win is to not play.

My question is, what if their moral viewpoint is abhorrant to you? Making an argument on policy by appealing to their moral code would be encouraging that moral code, would it not?

I would love to move to a conservative area. I am so done dating liberal women. But I'm stuck in NYC because I have kids here.

I think these moral values come from a deeper place. They come from personality traits and temperament that has biological roots. Biology shape our brains and their connections so it is not a value it is a particular intelligence, perception and conception of viewing the world.

No. The divide isn't just patriotism, respect for authority and on the left equality and care. It's much deeper than that. Conservatives are high is conscientiousness but low in openness (which makes sense, we argue that you should work hard to achieve what you want and we don't think meddling with stuff like an economy is a good idea when you have insufficient knowledge) On the other hand a left winger is low in conscientiousness but high in openness which again makes sense because leftists believe you deserve free healthcare, education etc without having earnt it.

So this idea of empathy and respect is something I wholeheartedly agree with. But what motivates those who refuse to give people with extreme views the light of day? For example, if you are under the assumption that a Trump follower is racist, how can you give a Trump follower respect and encourage their ideologies of inequality? Is there a way to achieve a better society if you refuse to listen to a group with certain ideologies? How can you achieve a better society by not listening to or even oppressing a group of people you don't like (even if they want to oppress others)?
