unconscious morality

This note last modified July 14, 2021

We judge first, reason later

finding a singular dime makes us more willing to help, smelling fresh bread makes someone more willing to help, a judge eating a meal makes them more likely to be lenient

Would You Kill The Fat Man-Edmonds pg 129

If the fat man is named Tyrone Payton vs Chip Ellsworth III, liberals are more likely to kill Chip

People are more likely to push a fat monkey to save 5 monkeys

Making it easier to kill is a large focus of militaries, and so dealing with our unconscious desire not to kill is why drone programs are popular.
