Outrage seems inevitable in this political climate, but psychology and neuroscience professor Kurt Gray has some ideas on how to tamp down the tension.
Gray says the idea of humans as apex predators is a myth, and he explains that recognizing we are hard-wired to look for threats can be a first step in understanding our moral outrage and bridging divides. He joins Due South co-host Leoneda Inge to talk about his book Outraged: Why We Fight About Morality and Politics and How to Find Common Ground.
