Good babies.
Professor of psychology Paul Bloom (Yale) describes his wife’s (Karen Wynn) research in the NY Times magazine.
But the current work I’m involved in, on baby morality, might seem like a perverse and misguided next step. Why would anyone even entertain the thought of babies as moral beings?
Fantastic accompanying video. What’s particularly fascinating, however, is that Wynn’s research seems to point to a genetic basis for morality (some forms of morality, at least). As if to say there may be a genetic marker that might predict preferences for social and anti-social behavior.
Oh, just fuck me.
I’m watching a lecture video, and every time the prof uses the words “the situation” all I can think of is Jersey Shore. FML

And hey, since Facebook isn’t exclusive to Harvard anymore, something had to replace it. This is it.
Naturally, Yale has followed suit.
