Kasz had suggested I get ahold of the book on my Wall.  I happened to just finished it and will be looking to get it back to the library shortly.  Pretty much I am reaching a conclusion that I won't get into discussion with people regarding morality, religion, ethics, and politics, unless they are familar with the concepts in the book.  I believe it goes into a lot on the subject and frames it well.  I would, at least, like to hear where the author is wrong.  I would also like to see find out the author's take on the Nolan chart.

Anyhow, my take on it.  I am wondering if anyone else is familar with the book, or heard of it, and can give opinions on it, where you agree or disagree, and other thoughts connected.

Here is a video on a bit of the book by the author.

And the website for the book:

And a NY Times book review:

Funny thing, I had this book suggested to me like a few days ago. Haven't exactly read it, but read a lot about it. Haidt is pretty alright as far as these devilish psychologists go (says the son of one :P). Very reasonable for a member of one of the positivist, marxist-influenced branches of knowledge. More human nature, less social constructs. At least the acknowledgement of it. And that's good, as a starting point.

This TED talk does a pretty good "bare bones" job on the book as well.

Or at least i think so.

As you know, haven't read the book yet myself.  However as far as Jonathan Haidt goes... I think he's by far the best when it comes to systems measuring values.
