Why do people moralize harmless carnal sins (e.g. gluttony, masturbation)?

@danielnettle.bsky.social & I find that these behaviors activate reciprocity-based moral judgment—no need for a distinct "purity" module.

Do mental health raising campaigns actually work? Do they do anything to help? This very interesting piece suggests that well-meaning programs can have harmful effects and it is possible that mental health awareness interventions are ineffective. www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/news/do-ment...

Without ambitious policy change, child poverty is projected to increase dramatically over the next decade.

In fact, should the Government continue with existing policy, our projections suggest child
poverty will hit 33 per cent in 2029-30, a level not seen since 1998-99.

Chart showing projections for child poverty until 2035 where this is projected to reach 36%.

The UK is among the worst nations in Europe for child poverty.

In the UK, 11% of 15-year-olds reported they had skipped a meal in 2022 because there wasn't enough money to buy food.

In the Netherlands and Finland, this number was 3%.

Chart showing that in 2018, the UK was among the worst in Europe for child poverty rates, second only the Greece.

Experimental Philosophy @xphilosopher.bsky.social · May 23

With the spectacular collapse of priming research, perhaps we should rethink the core lesson of framing
