From Human Hypercooperativity to Populist Aggression: How Did We Get Here? (Marcia Pally)

In this podcast, Marcia Pally explores that paradox of
foundational human cooperativity—as both evolutionary biology and
our Christian and Jewish traditions tells us—and yet breakdowns
of the very cooperativity that makes us flourish, leading to
violence and divisiveness. The specific divisiveness investigated
here is the rise of right-wing populism among America's white
evangelicals, which emerges not from "us" thinking but from
"us-them" thinking. Pally traces the path from religio-political
history and current conditions to us-them thinking among white
evangelicals, providing detailed information about current
evangelical political and policy positions.
