Do politics make us irrational? – Jay Van Bavel
Dig into the psychology of political partisanship, how to recognize it and what strategies can be used to combat it.

Can someone’s political identity actually affect their ability to process information? The answer lies in a cognitive phenomenon known as partisanship. While identifying with social groups is an essential and healthy part…

I feel very politically homeless and see contradictions on both sides, even though I lean left, and it is so annoying because I feel like I’ll never be able to fit in anywhere just for not agreeing with a few tiny details.
Our individual intelligence notwithstanding, nothing is dumber than the collective intelligence of humans 🙈
Anybody know what study this was?
Here's what you do. You make an ideology that believes that the elections are RIGGED. Every politician is a puppet to the shadow government coalition. This coalition goes across multiple countries and is related to the UN and NATO.
Presidential candidates in the US may say different things but those are just words, the ACTIONS are made by pre existing beauracrats and the congress is just a cover up. So many news outlets are controlled by these people, they create division in the US to cause infighting. The most powerful countries are controlled by them and the weak countries are simply ignored and oppressed.
Governments exist to rule and keep themselves in power, they don't care about the people or individual. Remember how Joe Biden said that he was going to stop building the wall and it turns out that he lied and kept building it. I know that's crazy, a politician would NEVER lie right???
Isn't it a little crazy that the only candidates we got were a senile old corrupt man who couldn't formulate a sentence to save his own life and a slightly less senile but stuck up old corrupt man.
No, it gives irrational people power.
Yeah, I used to be the "always consider both sides of the story, always challenge my beliefs" person! And where did that get me? Communism!!
very smart idea not saying what the objective answer was lol
Do you have any suggestion about idiocy? Well, I guess we have no solutions in the end.
You only have to turn on the news for ten seconds to confirm this
It’s quite possible the cognitive biases of the designers of this study influenced the outcomes. 😂
And this video is partisan. It’s partisan against partisanship. 😂
The debate about partisanship has been going on for a while. We definitely should check our cognitive biases and be more patient with cognitive dissonance. But we shouldn’t sit on a fence forever. And too many people use the “I don’t want to take sides” excuse not to think at all. Then they just default to the dominant social views, which actually end up being the views of whichever partisan group currently is “winning”.
The postmodernist left are all about “moral equivalence” and “subjective truth”. So that’s why the anti-partisanship position is seen as being a bit leftist and partisan, in and of itself.
Sorry about that.
Center left and conservatism will always make you vote against your best interests.
This video doesn't really address the main problem. Some groups will never heed such advice and will continue to hurt and kill people in the process, objectively speaking. There is only few other course of actions and it's not negotiation. Not when they are okay with the suffering and deaths of people and the rest of life, which is a lot of groups.
This is a splendid array of content. A related book was a turning point in my understanding. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
i regret looking to much into politics
That's like asking is water wet lol
Its reached the point of fanaticism.
individual are unique. common value is important. as common sense brought us together. people feel united with common intuition.

No.
Enough of this scientistic centrism.
Where the f*cking link to the study though? I wanna know what mistakes they made.
👍❕️
A lot of problems with disagreements are the fundamental disagreement whether people are equal or not aka whether hierarchys are justified
Political discussions and debates today are very toxic these days. We tend to group certain statements under a label, such as "Liberal" and/or "Conservative", and NOT group them according to how accurate or logical it is. This will cause the tendency of people of a certain to defend fallacious statements that they don't necessarily agree with just because "you are a Conservative/Liberal and you should protect your identity and dignity." For example, Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh are very intelligent people who are strong at making statements on a number of topics, but they would make fallacious and/or biased arguments on others for the sake of protecting the label as a whole.
I've been listening and watching International Politics this past 3-4 months but damned it's an irrational poison and a plague to the Human brain.

Politics shouldn't even be a thing literally no one cares about your opinion
this info is more important now more than ever
So in the end, it's really about the sense of 'belonging'.
Whatever may it be, thanks for reminding me why I don't really like politics
The brushy noise effect is annoying.
The title should be "Does Politics Make Us Irrational?". "Does", not "Do".
Emotions make us irrational. Not politics. But emotions in politics makes us irrational as well.
Politics should only be for people who can think rational and logical.
Emotional thinking = We need laws for a handful of people that will cut down or impair billions of others.
Rational thinking = We need laws that try to help a handful of people but will not cut down or impair billions of others.
Don't even have to watch, YES!
Politics is dogshit
Be machivellian, know how to compromise and think outside your political bubble
Does anyone know where to find the study?
Maybe I should get a life and move on… Be my own man perhaps. Get a dream. Get a goal. Get job. Get a wife. Get some sleep.
If any KENYAN 🇰🇪 finds this I hope you understand why we can all agree our economy sucks …but at the same time it's so hard to make a sober political decision in the favour of the economy 😔 it's always about jamii ya ……..
people with these 'tools' will be called centrist and booed out. what a time we live in.

AI being too powerful
I heard this was how PETA started? A vet put down animals and felt bad, so she convinced herself loving animals meant killing them because pets were "contaminated"
Today relationship between media and ruling government is prime example of this video
Uhhhhhh that’s just your opinion bro
half of all state rivalries (inc my own)
Reminds me of Semmelweis effect
Thanks Ted for educating me
Love from india 🇮🇳
Better to be biased to make a better society than creating hate.
