Sleeping, moral foundations, and boring life events

[flexagon]

I feel like I've been sleeping since I made my last post. It's not quite true, but partly; I was sick and I did sleep long hours (with naps) on Friday and Saturday. Visited norwoodbridge and slept a lot at his place, too. When I wasn't sleeping I was reading The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided By Politics and Religion. That was eye-opening and extremely good, and I'm glad I finished it; reading it is one of the big things I wanted to do for myself in the wake of the election. I keep looking back on various discussions I've had in my life about right and wrong, and being able to immediately identify which of Haidt's six moral foundations they were really about. I won't be able to do the book justice here, but here's a page on the moral foundations I'm talking about in case anyone's interested.

Also, what the hell, I'll list them:

• Care: cherishing and protecting others; opposite of harm.
• Fairness or proportionality: rendering justice according to shared rules; opposite of cheating.
• Liberty: the loathing of tyranny; opposite of oppression.
• Loyalty or ingroup: standing with your group, family, nation; opposite of betrayal.
• Authority or respect: submitting to tradition and legitimate author; opposite of subversion.
• Sanctity or purity: abhorrence for disgusting things, foods, actions; opposite of degradation.

(I'm mostly into the first three, putting me somewhere between liberal and libertarian according to Haidt. The next two trigger in my head just occasionally, and the last one pisses me off.)

Our second-floor neighbors have moved out, without saying goodbye (grump! no Loyalty!). Where did they go, and how long will it be until the next couple moves in, and how long until they inevitably become pregnant and move out? Not to stereotype, but that's what people in this particular apartment always do. I can't even remember the names of the ones before these ones, anymore.
