PZ on Haidt

[gepr]

I've been following Chris Mooney for awhile on G+ and Owen's enthusiasm for Haidt triggered me to go searching for the interesting criticisms Mooney levies at Haidt (which is friendly criticism).  I failed to find them.  But I did find the article below.  Meyers pisses me off a lot.  He's like Ricky Gervais ... a bit of an ass.  But I can't say either one of them is ever very wrong ... just politically incorrect.  Anyway, I like this quote about Haidt's "yin and yang":

"And I really detest the false equivalence of treating right and left as yin and yang — it only works in the sense that you could call thoughtful charity and murderous psychopathy yin and yang, too."
