Who do we discriminate against the most? 

Most important lesson: Having a 2-party-system is harming you. Most advanced democraties nowadays have moved towards a multy party system where 4-5 parties have a chance to be part of an elected government. This has a better chance of leading to a real "contest of ideas" - because you can't simple fight for "whatever is the oposite to the other partys opinion".

There is a very small percentage of people in the world who actually look for correct information instead of just trying to convince yourself and others that you have the right information.

Haven't posted in a while. Hope this makes up for it :) take care guys.

We found it guys! The one video on the internet with actual common sense in it! I was literally clapping at the end of it. Yes, in my solitary room i alone was actually clapping to a video, stupid as it sounds. *THIS* is the kind of knowledge that will eventually overthrow ignorance in our society! Why does this not have more views? Well go out there people and show them this! This is important!!!

The problem with politics is - unlike race or sex - one side is sometimes actually wrong.

In related news: In an OkCupid survey, a quarter of respondents who are “looking for love” now say that having similar political beliefs is more important in making a good match than physical compatibility www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-07-13/liberal-online-daters-less-willing-to-fall-in-love-with-conservatives

I am liberal and don't believe the wage gap. I guess that makes me a walking contradiction. Also yeah I'm dissapointed as a millennial about how much this generation won't listen to anyone unless they agree 100%

The problem is ego. You identify as an idea when in reality you are existence. There is nothing to fight for. Get rid of the ego and you live in peace. Identity is the problem.

6:20 "Like" - minded friends. Haha nice one!

The only path to changing minds on politicized issues: Listen to the other side. Find a point (or at least sentiment) you agree on and mention it. And then, depending on the individual, you can bring up an opposing view. I'm finding that this takes a genuine relationship to get to this. Otherwise, political talks (and 98% of Facebook posts) are virtue signaling intended to get "your team" to approve.

Absolutely amazing video! This is clearly being becoming a bigger and bigger issue and so many people are not aware that they are falling victim to it. I myself found not trying to force my ideas in this context into labels to be rather liberating and humanizing. Keep up the great work!

Thank you, this was really eye-opening

The one thing I really like this channel is that you can give strong advice without being selfish about your own advice. This is one thing I try at least, but you are a great example for me! :)

I've been looking for a channel like this for a while. A+. Gonna be glued to my screen for the next few hours

I thought paedophiles were the most discriminated against, even those who don't want to act out their fantasy.

Great video! Keep up the great work, man. Looking forward to the next one

keep up with the good work!!! I love watching all of your videos, your videos are always entertaining and educational to watch. It really makes me like psychology and think about how it is applied to everyday life. Can't wait to see more videos!!!!!!!!

Well done, I love the longer lengths of videos, you should keep up the good work

Just found this channel. Absolutely phenomenal job, keep up the good work. Content exposing the importance of using science as opposed to opinion based information towards behavior will be at the forefront of making the world a better place.

So good! Post more please. Your views are really good and strengthen my own

The title of this video for some reason made me really weary about watching / listening to it. I am glad I did. Thank you!

We are competitive on many levels comprised of different stages. Stage 1 between consists of our friends and family on things such as affection, intelligence, and wealth. Stage 2 is local, which contains competition on our environment - based on things such as who has the better house, better job, and better schools. Stage 3 is regional, based on things such as 'best state' or 'best social norms', or 'best political view'. Finally, stage 4 is global, where we are competitive on a country wide level. Many people don't realise that no matter how hard you fight your neighbours or argue with them, in a regional level and global level whenever you attempt to argue you are better - you are arguing for those on lower levels as well. Its one of the petty issues with human society - you want to be the best in everything you are part of, and want to show it off, and yet we are willing to put aside our differences just to argue against opponents on a higher level. The only way for humanity to truly ever bond together is if we reach a 5th stage, a planetary stage, but in that case aliens would have to exist - so perhaps humanity will never meet eye to eye.

Well put together! Great seeing a channel like this frow so fast! I've been here since 20k and every video is better than the last!

This is a great video it really made me think and I love how you gave no hint towards your views and didn't biased the evidence or lean toward one side in any examples keep it up!

Great video! Well researched, well elucidated and on a very interesting and relevant topic. Probably your best video yet - and all your videos are great.

this channel deserves so much more than what it has...such smart reseach of an important current matter,Great video!!

This is an extremely important video. Thank you for making and sharing it. Everyone should watch it.

Finally, someone made a video on this.

Hey, Bite Size Psych, have seen the first youtubevideo of u three days ago and have to admit, u make some of the best videos, I've seen in a long time, every video is made with so much quality and effort, keep up the good word and don't let urself determined of how many views u get (like almost everyone else)... although I've seen no drop in quality since ur one million video, so props!

One of the best channels on youtube, great job...

There are three types of people. People with arguments People against the arguments The bystanders I love reading some discussions online. Sometimes when the heat goes down, I'll throw some things in the convo so that it gets heated back up. I love my job.

This is the best video that I have seen in probably around three or four years BSP, thank you so very much. It's hard to prove to people that I consider myself truly neutral politically speaking, so I won't go into that, but I've been having serious difficulty understanding the hostility towards me over many years of debating political issues. I've never been a racist, a sexist, a gun-control activist or a non-believer(if you will) of climate change. I've just believed in the information that I could find, and(as close as possible) prove to be factual. Thanks for essentially giving me a cure to a very longstanding issue I've had with society in general. I'll be more understanding, and in turn I'll use this information to communicate better to others how I differ from their opinions if at all.

Really well done. If arguers used moral category labels anywhere near as often as they use political identity labels, I think conversational gridlocks would get dissolved far more often compared to what we see now. More importantly, if you're a welfare consequentialist, there can be no political sacred cows. There are only policies and procedural norms which happen to work (worthy of continuation) and those which happen to not work (worthy of discontinuation). Problem is, political junkies rarely (if ever) think along consequentialist lines. The overwhelming majority of them are oblivious to it and any other systematized theory of ethics. Much like with civics. Political Pragmatism > Political Ideology

One of the best videos I have seen this year.

I don't know why you stopped making these awesome educational videos.... Only thing I can wish is you are well and sound wherever you are. 🖖

You are one of the best channels on youtube right now.

Political parties should not exist.

Love all your videos. As a person entering the psychological field, I find your videos really informative and they lay down a great foundation for anyone who has an interest in psychology. Thank you for the upload (^^)

How crap. A rare informative video on RU-vid that talks about things that other channels don't constantly re-hash. *subbed*

Bravo! Great video. So basically if you are about to have a discussion just begin with the words: wow that is so interesting I hadn't thought about that, and then just do your inception ;)

Anyone else love how the hour hand and second hand at 6:32 line up perfectly. Just me? K. Great video BTW, very well informed and thought out.

Finally!,my favorite youtube channel.

wow nice love the vid, were are all your subs? you need more man you deserve them.

This video was absolutely amazing, and I think you are so right as well! It isn't genders, races or sexual orientation that devides us, it is always political opinions. This video demonstrates this perfectly!

i can't tell you how much i love this video

I did not expect that insightful ending. Why doesn't the world know this!?

I'm your 150,004th sub! Congrats!

This is exactly my thoughts, I am actually so glad somebody said something.

This was actually a very clever video, before watching I was intent on being overly careful and just leaving if I thought it were bias in any way but it was presented very well

Nice video! Well said!

Where are you my friend? Your videos were so good!

As a centered libertarian, I usually just confuse people due to their expectations of me based on opinions that i've expressed to them prior. I have a mixed bag of "Conservative" view points as well as "Liberal" ones. I think each issue needs to be dissected on a case by case basis, the only problem is that this is a lot of work. So I could understand why people would rather pick a side.

dude, this is the most intelligent youtube channel i have seen till now!!

As a political centrist with a slight left leaning, this video cannot describe how I feel most of the time any more perfectly.

Subscribed. A very informative video.

Welp, this is what happens when complex issues are forced to be labeled under binary values. I cannot understand how and why yankees accept their bipartisan system. Much less how can this system, not only bipartisan, but presidential and indirect, be called a democracy.

I think there is another aspect to this problem. If you want your vote to have any impact you have to vote a big party. But this is the only contribution most people thing they can do so they have all their hopes and believes for the future tied to this vote. I think people start to justify their vote decision by supporting everything their party is saying because they don't want to lose their hope that they've done the right thing. I think it's an existential problem of the way political parties work. You have to vote something and implicitly accept all the decisions of this party to every problem that they ever will address. A root problem of all this could be the completely missing diversity in the political landscape. Maybe it even would be a good idea to be able to vote not just for a political party but for individual statements of different parties with a positive or negative vote. You could indirectly immediately see which areas are most divided and what bothers people the most in general. (just an idea of the top of my head)

Hey great video again. Yours is one of my favorite channels. I had a little problem with this video however. I couldn't understand the last paper/experiment. What is the conclusion? I tried watching it twice.

*_The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion_* by Jonathan Haidt was an excellent book on the topic.

What is the truth?

Extremely interesting as usual

This is pure genius! thanks!

I love your content!!!

Really good stuff thank you

this channel only gets better

Who the fuck disliked this vid it was just uploaded -.-

Wow, that was excellent!

The biggest problem I see is that issues over facts have become political arguments. No one can except that for somethings there is objectively a correct answer. Why is global warming political when the objective science points in a certain direction? Critical thinking is disappearing and fact based decisions are never based on what would actually be the best.

This video definitely resonates with me. I'm a conservative and a Trump supporter, and I run into a lot of vitriolic hatred online and in person when discussing politics. (As I'm sure people on all sides of politics face) Most of the time I spend discussing things with people are divided down those lines, and it's all pretty predictable. However, I'm not even that far right. I lean left on several political issues like legalizing drugs, gay rights, etc. One a political compass, I'm hardly off from center. The reasons I support Trump are more based on specific policies than personality or party lines. He's opposed to TPP, which is a big deal for me, and he wants to cut taxes across the board. I never really talk about these things with people though, because I'm too busy getting wrapped up in the battleground that is American politics; too busy arguing about personality and party lines than policy. It is definitely an impediment to real discussion.

Holy crap. I thought nobody thought the same as me. It's about people, not parties.

"Between two groups of people who want to make inconsistent kinds of worlds, I see no remedy but force." - Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

The point at the end is really how we work. It's where the phrase warming someone up comes from. Flatter them, affirm their views, be on 'their side', and then comes the pitch.

Really good video. I honestly came into this video very skeptical and was getting ready to bring out the pitch forks. Goes to show that you are absolutely correct. It sounds ridiculous, but less so now, that the American war was more divided by Republican vs. Democrat instead of North vs. South as we all learn. Both are true, but some scholars have argued the political party divide was more responcible for the war than geography. Now I'm starting to believe that analysis a little bit more.

Great video, this is totally true, the majority of people nowadays expose theirs opinions just for vanity and are not seeking the truth..

The issue comes in a single statement. Had a conversation with someone who told me and I quote "I have these kinds of discussion to change the opinions of others". I'm being honestly serious. And it gets me to thinking how many other people think in that same way. That when they speak they can change the minds of other people. To me it seems to be a position of naivety and ignorance. That people should not be focusing on trying to change the opinion of others. Merely to have a discussion that shares ideas, and shares opinions. Whether you agree or disagree should never be the point. The point is to find some kind of common neutral ground that sparks conversation. I find it much easier to have a discussion whether or not in the end you agree or disagree, as long as you took something out of the conversation. What your beliefs are, or what your political party is should not matter. What should matter is the common ground where everyone can agree on a small portion of one whole.

great video, you earned yourself a sub

As someone doesn't fall in line with either major party (or either 'third party' really), I really appreciate this video. Thank you for trying to be as unbiased as possible in this. I always try to de-escalate a conversation as soon as the word "liberal" or "conservative" are dropped because it's the person immediately inciting this unbelievably strong bias. If I disagree with you and you're a "liberal" then I must be a "conservative" or vice versa.

Holy shit dude, this is like so ground breaking. Every political channel on youtube should watch this!

I guess this is the best channel on RU-vid about psychology.

I can honestly say this video changed my life

I love this channel

This video should have the most views on your channel

I highly recommend Jonathan Haidt's book, The Righteous Mind. It's the same guy who wrote the article mentioned in the video and it will definitely open your eyes a bit.

I would be interested in reading your sources - I noticed they were not linked in the description! :'(

It's a shame I can only give this video a single "thumbs up". Thank you, for this.

Is there a source for the research mentioned at 2:25?

What i find wrong with this issue, for one, is when organizations say they don't discriminate on any basis. When, in reality, there are still at least some within these organizations that still do like a bunch of asses.

Holy shit, this really opened my eyes

We shouldn't choose a side based on the political parties. Politics is not a sports team.

Great video. I encourage everybody to learn about the stanford prison experiment, to understand how the situation and external forces would change people and how they act and react in a society as complex as ours today. The division in sides by the politics is not working cause its making people lose their identities to be part of a group, even though sometimes not all of the ideas are compatible with the person's opinion.

It's pretty damn weird watching a video with such well reasoned arguments seemingly use such terms as "social justice warriors" as if it has any meaning other than being a divisive slur word used against just about anyone expressing even the most remote sympathy for oppressed groups of people. Besides that, excellent video.

yes. Thank you!

This video deserves more likes :)

Great video

For me it seems ridiculous that people still believe in a wage gap. Regardless of who researches the situation and their political persuasion, we should only look at the evidence, not who is giving us the facts. The truth is, there is no wage gap, there is an average earnings gap due to a broad spectrum of variables, such as hours worked, time taken off work, position of job etc. Whatever people think of Islam, we must take into account the actions of members of their religion and the writings within their texts. There are extremists in any group, political, religious or anything, but when a surprisingly large number of Muslims want Sharia law in places like America and the UK, there is a problem, especially when systems like that actually do oppress women. *Sura **2:22**3:Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like* Sura 4:24 says this about slave girls being sexual property. *And forbidden to you are wedded wives of other people except those who have fallen in your hands (as prisoners of war)* Regardless of my political persuasion, which I am not even sure of, the facts are still facts. So I implore people, don't defend something based on a media narrative, research for yourself and the truth will be shown. Political persuasion is unimportant when the facts aren't even there.

I agree when it comes to changing someone's mind you first have feed they're ego and agree with them, then they begin to lower they're guard. I practice this all the time in customer service(:

Bite Size Psychs Is the political discrimination as prominent in countries which do not have a two party system because I feel like that really breeds the rivalry and hate.

it is an especially an American thing. only thinking about tge extreme left or right. it would have been much better if Trump didn't run with the Republicans and Sanders not with the Democrats. that would have been a good change in the American electoral system.

It would be interesting to see how this works in different countries. In the US, you have two parties. In most European countries, there are five or more. Would political discrimination work the same way if there are more groups?

A good way of fixing the bias, and actually focusing on issues, would be to introduce a neutral party to senate and congresse, which's sole purpose would be to represent bills etc. The party responsible for drafting the bill would be anonymous. To ensure that drafters and voters wouldn't be the same, you could have seperate representives working on each matter in turn. By using this process, you would also force drafters to be more moderate, as hard line positions would be recognised as such, and not be voted on by the opposing party.
