Season 2 - Episode 2 - The Psychology of Conservatism

In this episode Zac discusses what it means to be a conservative in 2021 with independent scholar Bo Winegard. Bo has published articles on multiple topics and writes often for Quillette.

This episode is not an endorsement of any specific political ideology but an attempt to discuss Bo's thesis that conservatism is actually the political ideology that most closely maps onto what we know about human behaviour and psychology.

In this episode we discuss topics like Jonathan Haidt's Moral Foundations Theory, cancel culture, bias in academia and media, and a movement called "ethnotraditionalism".
