Interesting read. Sometimes we wonder why other peoples voting decisions
are fundamentally different from ours even if all good reasons speak
against it. Are they backward or brainwashed? Jonathan Haidt has written
a book named "The Righteous Mind" where he argues that people don't
really listen to arguments or reasons. Guided by their emotions, they
often come to a quick conclusion what is good or bad, and this decision
is in accordance with their worldview and their moral system (regardless
how skewed it may be).
