Moral tribes emotion, reason, and the gap between us and them

Our brains were designed for tribal life, for getting along with a select group of others (Us) and for fighting off everyone else (Them).

520 |a Our brains were designed for tribal life, for getting along with a select group of others (Us) and for fighting off everyone else (Them).
