(with David Pizarro) full Yoel Inbar, Michael Inzlicht, and Alexa Tullett Moral psychologist David Pizarro joins the show to talk about "purity." When moral psychologists ask people about their judgments of sex with chickens, smearing yourself with cat feces, and sibling incest, what are we learning? Is it possible that "purity" isn't a coherent concept at all, or is there an underlying method to the madness? 1:12:53 yes Arguably, the last 25 years of moral psychology have been about people's judgments of "purity violations"--ostensibly harmless acts that "are disgusting or degrading to one’s spiritual nature." From sex with (dead) chickens to pet-eating to baby Jesus buttplugs, moral psychologists have been fascinated by purity transgressions. Moral psychologist and purity expert David Pizarro joins the show to talk about the concept of purity and recent critiques arguing that it's a concept too broad to be useful. Along the way, we also discuss how often to shower, getting into bed in your outside clothes, and ritualistically washing your dad's feet.
