Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.84,0:00:07.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that polarization\Nis getting worse in our country,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.52,0:00:10.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the divide\Nbetween the left and the right
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.00,0:00:14.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is as bad as it's been\Nin really any of our lifetimes.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.56,0:00:19.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you might also reasonably wonder\Nif research backs up your intuition.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.56,0:00:25.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in a nutshell,\Nthe answer is sadly yes.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.96,0:00:32.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that liberals and conservatives\Nhave grown further apart.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:33.44,0:00:38.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They increasingly wall themselves off\Nin these ideological silos,

Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.40,0:00:45.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and more and more choosing\Nto live in different parts of the country.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.72,0:00:49.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I think that\Nmost alarming of all of it
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.96,0:00:53.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is seeing this rising\Nanimosity on both sides.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.44,0:00:56.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Liberals and conservatives,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.12,0:00:58.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Democrats and Republicans,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.08,0:01:36.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what kind of movie are we in\Nwith political polarization?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.08,0:01:39.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, it could be a disaster movie.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.92,0:01:44.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Could be a war movie.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.48,0:02:07.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you probably think, as I do,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.04,0:02:16.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we're Brad Pitt, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.76,0:02:20.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Free-thinking, righteous,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.68,0:02:22.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just trying to hold on\Nto what we hold dear,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.00,0:02:26.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know, not foot soldiers\Nin the army of the undead.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.60,0:02:28.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not that.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.08,0:02:29.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Never that.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.08,0:02:31.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But here's the thing:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.60,0:02:34.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what movie do you suppose\Nthey think they're in?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.48,0:02:36.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.72,0:02:39.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, they absolutely think\Nthat they're the good guys
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.28,0:02:41.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the zombie apocalypse movie. Right?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.16,0:02:44.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you'd better believe\Nthat they think that they're Brad Pitt
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.16,0:02:46.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that we, we are the zombies.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.12,0:02:51.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And who's to say that they're wrong?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.44,0:02:55.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that the truth is\Nthat we're all a part of this.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.24,0:02:59.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the good side of that\Nis that we can be a part of the solution.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.28,0:03:02.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what are we going to do?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.32,0:03:07.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What can we do to chip away\Nat polarization in everyday life?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.60,0:03:11.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What could we do to connect with\Nand communicate with
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.44,0:03:13.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our political counterparts?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.72,0:03:17.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, these were exactly the questions\Nthat I and my colleague, Matt Feinberg,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.88,0:03:19.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,became fascinated with a few years ago,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.76,0:03:21.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we started\Ndoing research on this topic.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.92,0:03:25.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And one of the first things\Nthat we discovered
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.92,0:03:29.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I think is really helpful\Nfor understanding polarization
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.40,0:03:30.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to understand
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.64,0:03:35.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the political divide in our country\Nis undergirded by a deeper moral divide.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.08,0:03:39.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So one of the most robust findings\Nin the history of political psychology
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.88,0:03:43.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is this pattern identified\Nby Jon Haidt and Jesse Graham,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.60,0:03:44.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,psychologists,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.84,0:03:48.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that liberals and conservatives\Ntend to endorse different values
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.88,0:03:50.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to different degrees.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.60,0:03:56.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So for example, we find that liberals\Ntend to endorse values like equality
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.12,0:03:59.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and fairness and care\Nand protection from harm
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.80,0:04:01.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more than conservatives do.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.96,0:04:07.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And conservatives tend to endorse\Nvalues like loyalty, patriotism,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.24,0:04:10.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,respect for authority and moral purity
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.72,0:04:12.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more than liberals do.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.92,0:04:17.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Matt and I were thinking\Nthat maybe this moral divide
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.00,0:04:21.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,might be helpful\Nfor understanding how it is
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.12,0:04:23.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that liberals and conservatives\Ntalk to one another
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.56,0:04:25.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and why they so often\Nseem to talk past one another
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.00,0:04:27.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when they do.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.24,0:04:29.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we conducted a study
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.24,0:04:32.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where we recruited liberals to a study
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.36,0:04:34.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where they were supposed\Nto write a persuasive essay
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.84,0:04:39.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that would be compelling to a conservative\Nin support of same-sex marriage.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.80,0:04:43.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what we found was that liberals\Ntended to make arguments
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.08,0:04:47.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in terms of the liberal moral values\Nof equality and fairness.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.28,0:04:49.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So they said things like,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.04,0:04:52.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Everyone should have the right\Nto love whoever they choose,"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.44,0:04:55.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, "They" -- they being gay Americans --
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.04,0:04:57.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"deserve the same equal rights\Nas other Americans."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.36,0:05:01.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Overall, we found\Nthat 69 percent of liberals
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.60,0:05:07.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,invoked one of the more liberal\Nmoral values in constructing their essay,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.04,0:05:10.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and only nine percent invoked\None of the more conservative moral values,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.76,0:05:14.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though they were supposed\Nto be trying to persuade conservatives.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.20,0:05:18.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when we studied conservatives\Nand had them make persuasive arguments
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.52,0:05:21.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in support of making English\Nthe official language of the US,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.44,0:05:23.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a classically conservative\Npolitical position,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.00,0:05:26.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we found that they weren't\Nmuch better at this.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.24,0:05:27.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,59 percent of them made arguments
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.88,0:05:30.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in terms of one of the more\Nconservative moral values,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.60,0:05:33.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and just eight percent\Ninvoked a liberal moral value,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.12,0:05:36.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though they were supposed\Nto be targeting liberals for persuasion.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.48,0:05:41.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, you can see right away\Nwhy we're in trouble here. Right?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.28,0:05:45.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People's moral values,\Nthey're their most deeply held beliefs.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.80,0:05:49.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People are willing\Nto fight and die for their values.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.72,0:05:52.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why are they going to give that up\Njust to agree with you
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.44,0:05:55.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on something that they don't particularly\Nwant to agree with you on anyway?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.00,0:05:59.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If that persuasive appeal that\Nyou're making to your Republican uncle
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.28,0:06:01.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,means that he doesn't\Njust have to change his view,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.72,0:06:03.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he's got to change\Nhis underlying values, too,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.91,0:06:05.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's not going to go very far.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.08,0:06:07.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what would work better?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.20,0:06:12.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, we believe it's a technique\Nthat we call moral reframing,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.52,0:06:15.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we've studied it\Nin a series of experiments.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.16,0:06:16.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In one of these experiments,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.68,0:06:19.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we recruited liberals\Nand conservatives to a study
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.84,0:06:22.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where they read one of three essays
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.16,0:06:25.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before having their environmental\Nattitudes surveyed.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.64,0:06:27.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the first of these essays
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.16,0:06:30.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was a relatively conventional\Npro-environmental essay
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.56,0:06:34.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that invoked the liberal values\Nof care and protection from harm.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.60,0:06:37.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It said things like,\N"In many important ways

Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.12,0:06:48.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another group of participants
Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.56,0:06:50.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were assigned to read\Na really different essay

Dialogue: 0,0:06:56.19,0:06:58.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was a pro-environmental essay as well,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.20,0:06:59.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it said things like,

Dialogue: 0,0:07:15.88,0:07:17.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then we had a third group

Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.60,0:07:24.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what we found when we surveyed people
Dialogue: 0,0:07:24.58,0:07:26.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about their environmental\Nattitudes afterwards,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:26.80,0:07:29.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we found that liberals,\Nit didn't matter what essay they read.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:29.76,0:07:32.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They tended to have highly\Npro-environmental attitudes regardless.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.56,0:07:40.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were significantly more supportive\Nof progressive environmental policies
Dialogue: 0,0:07:41.00,0:07:42.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and environmental protection
Dialogue: 0,0:07:42.56,0:07:44.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if they had read the moral purity essay
Dialogue: 0,0:07:44.64,0:07:47.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than if they read\None of the other two essays.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.16,0:07:51.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We even found that conservatives\Nwho read the moral purity essay
Dialogue: 0,0:07:51.28,0:07:54.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were significantly more likely to say\Nthat they believed in global warming
Dialogue: 0,0:07:54.80,0:07:56.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and were concerned about global warming,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:56.73,0:07:59.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though this essay\Ndidn't even mention global warming.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:59.48,0:08:01.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's just a related environmental issue.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.96,0:08:05.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that's how robust\Nthis moral reframing effect was.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:05.96,0:08:09.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we've studied this on a whole slew\Nof different political issues.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:09.72,0:08:13.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if you want to move conservatives
Dialogue: 0,0:08:13.48,0:08:16.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on issues like same-sex marriage\Nor national health insurance,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:16.60,0:08:20.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it helps to tie these liberal\Npolitical issues to conservative values
Dialogue: 0,0:08:20.08,0:08:22.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like patriotism and moral purity.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:23.80,0:08:25.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we studied it the other way, too.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:25.92,0:08:29.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you want to move liberals\Nto the right on conservative policy issues
Dialogue: 0,0:08:29.76,0:08:34.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like military spending and making English\Nthe official language of the US,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:34.40,0:08:36.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're going to be more persuasive
Dialogue: 0,0:08:36.08,0:08:39.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you tie those conservative\Npolicy issues to liberal moral values
Dialogue: 0,0:08:39.44,0:08:41.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like equality and fairness.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:42.64,0:08:45.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All these studies\Nhave the same clear message:
Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.52,0:08:48.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you want to persuade\Nsomeone on some policy,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:48.48,0:08:52.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's helpful to connect that policy\Nto their underlying moral values.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:53.52,0:08:55.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when you say it like that
Dialogue: 0,0:08:55.72,0:08:57.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it seems really obvious. Right?
Dialogue: 0,0:08:57.24,0:08:59.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like, why did we come here tonight?
Dialogue: 0,0:08:59.04,0:09:00.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why --
Dialogue: 0,0:09:00.28,0:09:01.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:09:01.84,0:09:03.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's incredibly intuitive.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:05.40,0:09:08.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And even though it is,\Nit's something we really struggle to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:08.72,0:09:12.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, it turns out that when we go\Nto persuade somebody on a political issue,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:12.60,0:09:15.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we talk like we're speaking into a mirror.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:15.36,0:09:19.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We don't persuade so much\Nas we rehearse our own reasons
Dialogue: 0,0:09:19.76,0:09:22.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for why we believe\Nsome sort of political position.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:23.40,0:09:27.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We kept saying when we were designing\Nthese reframed moral arguments,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:27.84,0:09:30.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Empathy and respect,\Nempathy and respect."
Dialogue: 0,0:09:31.04,0:09:32.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you can tap into that,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:32.52,0:09:34.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can connect
Dialogue: 0,0:09:34.20,0:09:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you might be able to persuade\Nsomebody in this country.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:37.56,0:09:39.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So thinking again
Dialogue: 0,0:09:40.00,0:09:42.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about what movie we're in,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:43.20,0:09:44.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe I got carried away before.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:44.80,0:09:46.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe it's not a zombie apocalypse movie.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:47.52,0:09:49.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe instead it's a buddy cop movie.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:50.04,0:09:52.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:09:52.08,0:09:54.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just roll with it, just go with it please.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:54.12,0:09:55.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:09:56.48,0:09:59.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know the kind:\Nthere's a white cop and a black cop,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:59.20,0:10:01.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or maybe a messy cop and an organized cop.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:01.36,0:10:03.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Whatever it is, they don't get along
Dialogue: 0,0:10:03.44,0:10:04.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because of this difference.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:05.52,0:10:08.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in the end, when they have\Nto come together and they cooperate,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:08.76,0:10:10.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the solidarity that they feel,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:10.72,0:10:14.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's greater because of that gulf\Nthat they had to cross. Right?
Dialogue: 0,0:10:15.28,0:10:17.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And remember that in these movies,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:17.28,0:10:20.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's usually worst in the second act
Dialogue: 0,0:10:20.20,0:10:22.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when our leads are further apart\Nthan ever before.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:23.44,0:10:25.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so maybe that's\Nwhere we are in this country,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:25.80,0:10:27.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,late in the second act\Nof a buddy cop movie --

Dialogue: 0,0:10:30.60,0:10:33.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,torn apart but about\Nto come back together.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:35.40,0:10:37.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It sounds good,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:37.08,0:10:38.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if we want it to happen,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:38.96,0:10:41.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think the responsibility\Nis going to start with us.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:42.52,0:10:44.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is my call to you:
Dialogue: 0,0:10:45.48,0:10:47.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,let's put this country back together.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:49.08,0:10:52.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's do it despite the politicians
Dialogue: 0,0:10:52.16,0:10:55.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the media and Facebook and Twitter
Dialogue: 0,0:10:55.04,0:10:56.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Congressional redistricting
Dialogue: 0,0:10:56.60,0:10:59.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and all of it,\Nall the things that divide us.

Dialogue: 0,0:11:03.92,0:11:08.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And let's do it\Nbecause this hate and contempt

Dialogue: 0,0:11:11.40,0:11:14.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,makes us ugly and it corrupts us,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:14.60,0:11:17.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it threatens\Nthe very fabric of our society.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:19.96,0:11:22.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We owe it to one another and our country

Dialogue: 0,0:11:26.00,0:11:29.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We can't afford to hate them any longer,
