Ryan Rogers joins Something For Everybody this week. Ryan is a clinical mental health counseling intern. He is also author of The Woke Mind and host of the Reality Therapy podcast. In this conversation, Ryan and I explore the rise of activism in academia, the impact of social movements, and the implications of social justice ideology on mental health. We discuss the concept of privilege walks, the demonization of hard work, and the search for meaning and belonging among individuals, particularly young boys. The conversation also delves into the complexities of masculinity, the state of wokeness in society, and the controversial topic of gender affirming care.  - Timestamps:  00:00 Overcoming Darkness 06:03 Understanding Mental Health 12:03 Navigating Modern Challenges 18:00 Wokeness in Therapy: A Critical Examination 30:28 The Rise of Activism in Academia 32:14 The Impact of Social Movements 34:21 Understanding Privilege Walks 36:25 The Demonization of Hard Work 38:08 The Search for Meaning and Belonging 40:16 Addressing the Crisis in Young Boys 44:34 The State of Wokeness in Society 47:27 The Controversy of Gender Affirming Care 50:54 The Role of Rational Compassion in Therapy 54:09 The Mental Health Implications of Social Justice Ideology 56:08 Microaggressions and Their Misinterpretations - See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://everybodyspod.com/deals/ - Shop For Everybody  Use code SFE10 for 10% OFF

When it comes to self-help, it's important to be cautious of information that seems too good to be true. Especially, in today's world of digital wellness influencers where there is a lot of misinformation out there that could cause you more harm than good.

Expect evidence-based self-care methods, in addition to tips on how to do your due diligence as a consumer.  Listen and Learn: What led Pooja to make some pretty drastic decisions in her own quest for self-care The differentiators between faux self-care and real self-care The idea of using ‘pauses' when making decisions and boundary setting  Pseudoscience and the challenges it poses to the field of psychology Examples of scientists behaving badly  Red flags for identifying faux self-care Suggestibility: we can be easily influenced in ways that are problematic Resources:  Guest Learn more about Pooja and her work as a psychiatrist, author, founder, and speaker: https://www.poojalakshmin.com Order your copy of Real Self-Care: A Transformative Program for Redefining Wellness (Crystals, Cleanses, and Bubble Baths Not Included): https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593489727 Articles Controversy Over Ego Depletion/Decision-Fatigue Books Quick Fix: Why Fad Psychology Can't Cure Our Social Ills by Jesse Singal Gospel of Wellness: Gyms, Gurus, Goops, and the False Promise of Self-Care by Rina Raphael American Detox: The Myth of Wellness and How We Can Truly Heal by Kerri Kelly  Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know by Adam Grant Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion by Paul Bloom Podcasts Maintenance Phase  Conspirituality The Daily: Women Have Been Misled About Menopause About Pooja Lakshmin Pooja Lakshmin is a psychiatrist, New York Times contributor, an assistant professor at George Washington University, and a leading voice at the intersection of mental health and gender with a focus on helping individuals escape the tyranny of self-care.

Jusqu'où iriez-vous par empathie pour quelqu'un ? Pourriez-vous annuler un week-end prévu de longue date, pour aider un ami en pleine rupture ? Échanger votre plat préféré contre celui d'une collègue, qui n'aime finalement pas ce qu'elle a commandé? Ou même accepter un rendez-vous auquel vous n'avez pas envie d'aller, juste pour ne pas vexer l'autre ? Savoir écouter, partager les peines, les joies, comprendre et soutenir… Tout cela relève de l'empathie, une capacité extrêmement valorisée dans notre société. L'OMS la reconnaît même comme « une compétence psychosociale essentielle qui devrait être enseignée à l'école ».Mais à force de vouloir toujours combler les désirs de l'autre, l'empathie ne pourrait-elle pas devenir toxique ? Notamment pour les personnes qui l'expriment trop, faute d'écouter leurs propres émotions ? Et envahissante pour les personnes qui la reçoivent, incapables de “donner autant” ? Est-ce plus facile pour certaines personnes que pour d'autres, d'éprouver de l'empathie ? Et pour les personnes qui en sont dépourvues, est-il possible de l'apprendre ? Dans cet épisode, la journaliste Léna Coutrot raconte son histoire d'amour avec Adrien, son ex-copain (trop) empathique. C'est notamment à cause de cela que leur relation s'est terminée. Pour mieux comprendre comment on peut finir par étouffer quelqu'un par notre bienveillance, elle n'est pas retournée voir son ex mais a tendu son micro à François. Lui s'épuise à force de répertorier les préférences et désirs de tous ses proches dans son carnet mental, avant de les exaucer un à un. Elle est aussi allée interroger Noa, salariée de l'association En Avant Toutes qui prend en charge les personnes victimes de violence et doit parfois se protéger contre sa propre empathie. Enfin, pour comprendre jusqu'où va l'empathie et comment la distinguer de la compassion, Léna Coutrot interroge Olga Klimecki, une chercheuse allemande en psychologie et neurosciences, co-autrice de l'ouvrage "Altruisme pathologique”, paru en 2012 aux éditions de l'Université d'Oxford, qui a mené des études d'apprentissage de la compassion.

Back on the podcast with me today is licensed therapist and certified meditation teacher, Jason Connell. His work focuses on the intersection of evidence-based psychology, philosophy, and enduring insights from the wisdom traditions. His goal is to help his clients develop self-love and self-compassion while solving persistent and challenging problems related to happiness, stress, anxiety, work, relationships, and finding meaning. On this podcast, Jason talks about Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), the approach he uses to foster connection and facilitate positive transformational experiences with his clients. We discuss the goals of this therapeutic method, including the healing of attachment injury, which affects about 50% of the population.

We start with a bit of developmental psychology, and discuss how we study babies, and how good they really are as models for human nature and the innateness of behavior. We also deal with mind-body dualism, and how people think about the physical world and the social world differently. We then get into moral development. We also talk about Against Empathy, the distinction between emotional and cognitive empathy, compassion, and psychopathy. We tackle the link between morality and violence, and we talk a little bit about dehumanization. Finally, Dr. Bloom lifts the veil on his upcoming book, about pleasure and/in pain. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, BO WINEGARD, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, ANJAN KATTA, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, MAX BEILBY, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, THOMAS TRUMBLE, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, OMARI HICKSON, PHYLICIA STEVENS, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JOÃO ALVES DA SILVA, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, TOM ROTH, AND YANICK PUNTER!

What the world needs now is . . . How would you complete the sentence? At a moment in our history so rife with fear, conflict, and suffering, “empathy” might be a leading candidate. But what is empathy, exactly? Is it an innate human experience, or a skill that can learned? And how can science shed light on such an abstract and elusive concept? Jocelyn and Bradley are joined this week by cognitive psychologist Dr. John Kiat, who describes his research into social cognition and shares his perspective on the role of empathy in navigating our current contentious social and political climate, from wearing masks to confronting systemic racism. The friends also discuss the value of the social sciences more generally, and how neuroscience trumped physics in John’s quest to answer the ultimate questions of our existence, which has shaped his science journey.

Tim Sackett joins Jason Averbook to talk about the importance of “Rational Compassion.” How do you understand and serve the value and needs of every human being, every individual, while balancing that effort against the needs of the business? In turn, Jason comments on the real heroism we're seeing by the day: acting like a leader when you don't even need to, when you're not a leader by title, but doing it because it's the right thing to do.

Within every person’s mind there is on ongoing battle between reason and emotion. It’s not always a battle, of course; very often the two can work together. But at other times, our emotions push us toward actions that our reason would counsel against. Paul Bloom is a well-known psychologist and author who wrote the provocatively-titled book Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion, and is currently writing a book about the nature of cruelty. While I sympathize with parts of his anti-empathy stance, I try to stick up for the importance of empathy in the right circumstances. We have a great discussion about the relationship between reason and emotion. Support Mindscape on Patreon or Paypal. Paul Bloom received his Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from MIT. He is currently the Ragen Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science at Yale University. His research ranges over a variety of topics in moral psychology and childhood development. He is the author of several books and the recipient of numerous prizes, including the $1 million Klaus J. Jacobs Research Prize in 2017.

One thing we all seem to agree on is that empathy is an unmitigated good. But what if we are wrong? Might some forms of empathy actually be dangerous for society, biasing preferences towards those that look like us, or even those we find attractive? And even when our closest companions are in pain, is ‘feeling what they feel’ really the best way to help? Are horrific acts of cruelty made palatable by dehumanising the victims, or is the truth actually much worse? And how can social media turn do-gooders into deliverers of unlimited vengeance? Paul Bloom takes Igor and Charles for a walk on the dark side, exploring the treacherous hidden terrain of empathy, harmless torturers, aggregate cruelty and third-party punishment. Igor calls for tech companies to start hiring moral philosophers, Paul raises moral objections to loving your own children, and Charles has his mind blown and heart crushed by a revelatory, yet even darker, interpretation of human cruelty. Welcome to Episode 8. Special Guest: Paul Bloom.

Mora at https://www.philosophytalk.org/shows/psychology-cruelty. Throughout history, people have committed all kinds of cruel, degrading, and evil acts toward other people. Many believe that for evil acts like genocide to be even possible, the victims must first be dehumanized by the perpetrators, starting with dehumanizing language or propaganda. But is this lack of empathy always at the heart of human cruelty? When we call others “vermin,” “roaches,” or “animals” are we thereby denying their humanity? Or can human cruelty and violence sometimes rely on actually recognizing the other’s humanity? Josh and guest host Alison Gopnik welcome back Paul Bloom from Yale University, author of "Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion."

I dagens episode snakker jeg med Jan Terje Einarsmo som er enhetsleder for miljøterapeutiske tjenester i Mandal. Vi kommer innom flere temaer i løpet av en drøy time. Vi snakker om hva som kjennetegner en god hjelper, mental styrke, selvinnsikt i hjelper-rollen, gode miljøer versus destruktive miljøer og hva det vil si å være hjelpekåt.Som psykoterapeut har jeg jobbet som hjelper i snart 14 år. Jeg har møtt mange gode terapeuter og hjelpere, og jeg har møtt mange som har brent seg på sitt glødende engasjement for andre mennesker. Engasjement er bra, men man skal være litt påpasselig med måten man engasjerer seg på. Jeg mener at noen mennesker, eller ganske mange mennesker, har en form for empati som er feilslått. De bryr seg om andre mennesker på en så intens måte at det går ut over dem selv, samtidig som det undergraver andres evner til å hjelpe seg selv. I tråd med psykologiprofessor, Paul Bloom, mener jeg at empatiske evner kan være like skakk-kjørte som følelser av frykt, og skakk-kjørt frykt kaller vi som regel for angst. Paul Bloom har skrevet en hel bok hvor han anbefaler det han kaller for rasjonell empati, og dette betrakter jeg som et særdeles viktig innspill til alle som vil fungere som gode medmennesker.Empati dreier seg om evnen til å leve seg inn i andre mennesker. Når vi ser noen som lider, kan vi til og med oppnå en så sterk innlevelse at vi nærmest føler det samme. Vi har blant annet noe som heter speilnevroner som kan iverksette opplevelser som på sett og vis mimer den andres følelser og sinnstemninger. På denne måten kan vi forstå hvordan det er å være den andre, og vi kan etablere omsorg og empati på bakgrunn av denne formen for innlevelse. Problemet er at empati fundert på tett emosjonell innlevelse, ofte fører til at den andres lidelse nærmest tar bolig i hjelperen, og sånn sett oppnår vi to mennesker med smerte, og det er ikke nødvendigvis en god ting. En hjelper bør ikke overta andres smerte, først og fremst fordi det kan hindre dem i å yte den beste hjelpen. Isteden bør vi tilstrebe en form for innlevelse som anerkjenner den andre, men ikke overtar smerten. Når jeg går hjem fra jobb og plutselig tenker på en pasient som er i dyp krise, pleier jeg å tenke at det er en god ting. Det er ikke noe som frarøver meg søvn, gjør meg stresset eller tungsindig. Omtanke for pasienter utenom jobb gir meg snarere en slags pekepinn på at jeg bryr meg. Jeg har en viss omsorg i meg, og det ser jeg på som en god ting. Med andre ord kan jeg tenke på andres smerte og få en god følelse. Jeg får ikke en god følelse fordi at de har det vondt, men fordi jeg er en person som faktisk bryr meg om det. I en slik posisjon ser jeg den andres smerte, men jeg overtar den ikke. Jeg bryr meg med den distansen som skal til for å fungere som en god hjelper.Dessuten er vår evne til å bry oss om andre ganske snever. Vi byr oss mer om en venn som har brukket beinet enn om global oppvarming. Våre empatiske evner er ofte ganske lokalt orientert, og vi bryr oss om de som er rett foran nesa på oss, og da kan vi prioritere dem uten å se at prioriteringen får negative konsekvenser for andre på litt lengste sikt. Eksempelvis kan jeg ha mennesker i behandling i lang tid, selv om de ikke har noe mer å hente i psykoterapi. Jeg føler meg imidlertid snill og omsorgsfull fordi pasienten gir uttrykk for at det er godt å ha noen å prate med. Når jeg sier ja til en slik ordning, bruker jeg tiden til en potensiell pasient som står på venteliste og kunne hatt mye mer utbytte av denne tiden.Det finnes også mange hjelpere som er så opptatt av å gjøre en god jobb at de overtar livet til en trengende person uten å innse at deres involvering gjør pasienten mer og mer hjelpeløs. Det er en regel som sier at man aldri skal hjelpe noen med noe de kunne klart selv. Da må man sitte å se på at en person med angst ringer NAV med en puls på 150, voldsomme svettetokter og pustebesvær. Jeg kunne ringt på veien av pasienten og fikset saken i løpet av noen minutter. Pasienten hadde blitt takknemlig, jeg hadde følt meg hjelpsom og alt ville vært vel, bortsett fra at denne typen tjenester på lang sikt er det vi kaller bjørnetjenester. Vi får det bedre i øyeblikket, men indirekte har jeg også signalisert at pasienten måtte ha hjelp til å ringe NAV, og denne subtile beskjeden kan forsterke pasientens avhengige mønstre og følelse av hjelpeløshet på lengre sikt. Det kan ligne litt på narkomani: En rusmisbruker føler seg mye bedre i det øyeblikket rusen begynner å fungere, men på lengre sikt kan det være svært skadelig.I det siste har jeg lest boken til Paul Bloom som heter «Against empathy». Det er en litt krass tittel, men faktum er at mange mennesker går rundt med empatiske evner som sørger for at de tar moralsk forkastelige veivalg. Før jeg tar deg med til Mandal, skal jeg spille av en kort vignett hvor Paul Bloom oppsummerer sitt korstog mot empati. Deretter skal du altså få høre en lengre samtale jeg hadde på en fagdag om «recovery» eller perspektiver på «tilfriskning» i Mandal i mai 2018.Hvis du liker denne podcasten, håper jeg du gir den en tilbakemelding her på siden eller i iTunes. Det er blant annet tilbakemeldinger i iTunes som sørger for at SinnSyn blir sett og plukket opp av flere mennesker.

Ellers nevner jeg til det kjedsommelige at jeg har tre bøker for salg her på WebPsykologens bokhandel. To av bøkene handler om selvfølelse, selvbilde og perspektiver på selvutvikling, mens min nyeste bok, Psykologens journal, handler om de store spørsmålene i livet. Psykologens journal handler om mitt møte med religion. Jeg er ikke religiøs, men jeg liker å snakke med folks om mener noe annet enn meg selv. Jeg tror at meningsforskjeller kan ta oss dypere inn i de vanskelige spørsmålene. I Psykologens journal forsøker jeg å nærme meg døden, meningen med livet, fordeler og ulemper ved mytologi og religion samt en rekke andre temaer som spiller på våre mest grunnleggende eksistensielle vilkår.

I dagens episode snakker jeg med Jan Terje Einarsmo som er enhetsleder for miljøterapeutiske tjenester i Mandal. Vi kommer innom flere temaer i løpet av en drøy time. Vi snakker om hva som kjennetegner en god hjelper, mental styrke, selvinnsikt i hjelper-rollen, gode miljøer versus destruktive miljøer og hva det vil si å være hjelpekåt.Som psykoterapeut har jeg jobbet som hjelper i snart 14 år. Jeg har møtt mange gode terapeuter og hjelpere, og jeg har møtt mange som har brent seg på sitt glødende engasjement for andre mennesker. Engasjement er bra, men man skal være litt påpasselig med måten man engasjerer seg på. Jeg mener at noen mennesker, eller ganske mange mennesker, har en form for empati som er feilslått. De bryr seg om andre mennesker på en så intens måte at det går ut over dem selv, samtidig som det undergraver andres evner til å hjelpe seg selv. I tråd med psykologiprofessor, Paul Bloom, mener jeg at empatiske evner kan være like skakk-kjørte som følelser av frykt, og skakk-kjørt frykt kaller vi som regel for angst. Paul Bloom har skrevet en hel bok hvor han anbefaler det han kaller for rasjonell empati, og dette betrakter jeg som et særdeles viktig innspill til alle som vil fungere som gode medmennesker.Empati dreier seg om evnen til å leve seg inn i andre mennesker. Når vi ser noen som lider, kan vi til og med oppnå en så sterk innlevelse at vi nærmest føler det samme. Vi har blant annet noe som heter speilnevroner som kan iverksette opplevelser som på sett og vis mimer den andres følelser og sinnstemninger. På denne måten kan vi forstå hvordan det er å være den andre, og vi kan etablere omsorg og empati på bakgrunn av denne formen for innlevelse. Problemet er at empati fundert på tett emosjonell innlevelse, ofte fører til at den andres lidelse nærmest tar bolig i hjelperen, og sånn sett oppnår vi to mennesker med smerte, og det er ikke nødvendigvis en god ting. En hjelper bør ikke overta andres smerte, først og fremst fordi det kan hindre dem i å yte den beste hjelpen. Isteden bør vi tilstrebe en form for innlevelse som anerkjenner den andre, men ikke overtar smerten. Når jeg går hjem fra jobb og plutselig tenker på en pasient som er i dyp krise, pleier jeg å tenke at det er en god ting. Det er ikke noe som frarøver meg søvn, gjør meg stresset eller tungsindig. Omtanke for pasienter utenom jobb gir meg snarere en slags pekepinn på at jeg bryr meg. Jeg har en viss omsorg i meg, og det ser jeg på som en god ting. Med andre ord kan jeg tenke på andres smerte og få en god følelse. Jeg får ikke en god følelse fordi at de har det vondt, men fordi jeg er en person som faktisk bryr meg om det. I en slik posisjon ser jeg den andres smerte, men jeg overtar den ikke. Jeg bryr meg med den distansen som skal til for å fungere som en god hjelper.Dessuten er vår evne til å bry oss om andre ganske snever. Vi byr oss mer om en venn som har brukket beinet enn om global oppvarming. Våre empatiske evner er ofte ganske lokalt orientert, og vi bryr oss om de som er rett foran nesa på oss, og da kan vi prioritere dem uten å se at prioriteringen får negative konsekvenser for andre på litt lengste sikt. Eksempelvis kan jeg ha mennesker i behandling i lang tid, selv om de ikke har noe mer å hente i psykoterapi. Jeg føler meg imidlertid snill og omsorgsfull fordi pasienten gir uttrykk for at det er godt å ha noen å prate med. Når jeg sier ja til en slik ordning, bruker jeg tiden til en potensiell pasient som står på venteliste og kunne hatt mye mer utbytte av denne tiden.Det finnes også mange hjelpere som er så opptatt av å gjøre en god jobb at de overtar livet til en trengende person uten å innse at deres involvering gjør pasienten mer og mer hjelpeløs. Det er en regel som sier at man aldri skal hjelpe noen med noe de kunne klart selv. Da må man sitte å se på at en person med angst ringer NAV med en puls på 150, voldsomme svettetokter og pustebesvær. Jeg kunne ringt på veien av pasienten og fikset saken i løpet av noen minutter. Pasienten hadde blitt takknemlig, jeg hadde følt meg hjelpsom og alt ville vært vel, bortsett fra at denne typen tjenester på lang sikt er det vi kaller bjørnetjenester. Vi får det bedre i øyeblikket, men indirekte har jeg også signalisert at pasienten måtte ha hjelp til å ringe NAV, og denne subtile beskjeden kan forsterke pasientens avhengige mønstre og følelse av hjelpeløshet på lengre sikt. Det kan ligne litt på narkomani: En rusmisbruker føler seg mye bedre i det øyeblikket rusen begynner å fungere, men på lengre sikt kan det være svært skadelig.I det siste har jeg lest boken til Paul Bloom som heter «Against empathy». Det er en litt krass tittel, men faktum er at mange mennesker går rundt med empatiske evner som sørger for at de tar moralsk forkastelige veivalg. Før jeg tar deg med til Mandal, skal jeg spille av en kort vignett hvor Paul Bloom oppsummerer sitt korstog mot empati. Deretter skal du altså få høre en lengre samtale jeg hadde på en fagdag om «recovery» eller perspektiver på «tilfriskning» i Mandal i mai 2018.Hvis du liker denne podcasten, håper jeg du gir den en tilbakemelding her på siden eller i iTunes. Det er blant annet tilbakemeldinger i iTunes som sørger for at SinnSyn blir sett og plukket opp av flere mennesker. Målet vårt er å spre kunnskap og interesse for menneskets indre liv i et filosofisk eller psykologisk perspektiv til så mange som mulig. Du kan hjelpe oss ved å anbefale lodden til folk du kjenner, dele den i sosiale medier eller gi den stjerner og kommentarer i iTunes. Alle monner drar, og tusen takk til alle dere som allerede har gjort dette. Det varmer og lese de særdeles positive innspillene i kommentarfeltene på iTunes. Ellers nevner jeg til det kjedsommelige at jeg har tre bøker for salg her på WebPsykologens bokhandel. To av bøkene handler om selvfølelse, selvbilde og perspektiver på selvutvikling, mens min nyeste bok, Psykologens journal, handler om de store spørsmålene i livet. Psykologens journal handler om mitt møte med religion. Jeg er ikke religiøs, men jeg liker å snakke med folks om mener noe annet enn meg selv. Jeg tror at meningsforskjeller kan ta oss dypere inn i de vanskelige spørsmålene. I Psykologens journal forsøker jeg å nærme meg døden, meningen med livet, fordeler og ulemper ved mytologi og religion samt en rekke andre temaer som spiller på våre mest grunnleggende eksistensielle vilkår.

We welcome back cognitive scientist Paul Bloom to talk about his new book Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion.

Since 2008, Big Think has been sharing big ideas from creative and curious minds. The Think Again podcast takes us out of our comfort zone, surprising our guests and Jason Gots, your host, with unexpected conversation starters from Big Think’s interview archives. Paul Bloom is an internationally recognized expert on the the psychology of child development, social reasoning, and morality, and the author of numerous books including Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil. His newest book is Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion. Is managing a hedge-fund a better way to do good in the world than joining the Peace Corps? Does donating for disaster-relief (without really thinking it through) often make matters worse? At the risk of being mistaken for a Scrooge-like figure, Paul Bloom advances a smart, nuanced argument that empathy, in the sense of feeling others' suffering, is a terrible guide to moral decision-making. Surprise conversation starter interview clips in this episode: Juanita Rilling on the psychology and the realities of disaster relief, David Eagleman on mass shootings, Wesley Lowery on freedom of the press.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Learn why empathy actually does more harm than good by making us focus on smaller problems that affect one person over solving the bigger, intangible ones that can affect an entire population. How does empathy direct us to help in fundamentally biased ways? Why did we evolve empathy in the first place?

His research explores how children and adults understand the physical and social world, with special focus on morality, religion, fiction, and art. He has won numerous awards for his research and teaching. He is past-president of the Society for Philosophy and Psychology, and co-editor of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, one of the major journals in the field. Dr. Bloom has written for scientific journals such as Nature and Science, and for popular outlets such as The New York Times, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic Monthly.

Paul Bloom (@paulbloomatyale) is a developmental psychologist and author of the upcoming Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion. He joins us to talk about the evolution of our innate (but limited) morality and what we as modern, rational humans can do to overcome this programming. The Cheat Sheet: Do we learn good and evil as we grow up, or are they hard-wired into us by evolution? Are we all just closet racists (with some of us just more closeted than others)? How can we scientifically test biases in babies who seemingly only express themselves by cooing and pooping? Good news: innate moral sense exists. Bad news: innate moral sense exists, but is limited. The goal of a modern culture is to make it a bit less limited. What can we do to change the us vs. them monologue with which we're born? And so much more...
