It is very good. Shows the moral foundations held by conservatives - all of them - and those held by liberals - just two/three of them.

I am still a liberal coz even tho I see that I'm undervaluing some moral foundations innate to humans, I think those should be undervalued.

And if you imagine some of those values on the conservative side getting turned way up, you can get horrible things like ethno-nationalism.

And equally, the ones on the liberal side - harm/care & fairness - can go into overdrive and start doing harm to stop harm.

These are the foundations. Sorry, I'll stop being evangelical now. http://moralfoundations.org/
