      The Harris view assumes certain basic values to start with. You can reasonably extrapolate from the assumed values.

      Most worldviews start with some assumptions and have a kind of circular quality because of that.

      They do have to state their premises tho otherwise you'd never get started at all. 'Humans exist & have consistent needs' is a good one

      The most interesting thing to me is the extension of circle of concern.

      I don't think this came from people making rational argument.

          Yes, he got that from Inglehart+ Schwarz. Longer view by Pinker on similar processes also relevant.

          But Haidt takes an anti rationalist approach in general.

          Kind of. He believes that it needs to be a group project, doesn't he? Thinks individual reason is too inclined to psychological flaws.

          don't think he does, he describes moral phenomena & trying to explain entrenched polarization, then suggests flexibility in certainties

          Yes, but when he talks about reason, he says it requires lots of different ideas working with & against each other, not individual.

          we do build on previous knowledge & need outside checking of premises, as a society we need sense of shared common values for it to work.

          even here, he's describing, i think. also explains how non liberal shared values can work for a cohesive society with a common identity
