George Lakoff: Moral Politics
UC Berkeley professor of Cognitive Science and Linguistics George Lakoff explores how successful political debates are framed by using language targeted to people’s values instead of their support for specific government programs in this public lecture sponsored by the Helen Edison Series at UC San Diego.

I need to finish watching this sometime when it’s not 3 AM. ._.
excellent work!
Great stuff, but it’s worth noting that this really only applies to the US Conservative/Liberal divide… wouldn’t apply in many countries
Interesting how he described the sponsorship of conservative think tanks. They used to shoot people who worked against their “freedom” now they spend half a billion dollars a year on “conservative thought” with which they dilute the public discourse and mire more responsible sentiments in the no mans land of ideological rhetoric. If they werent so corrupt the debt wouldnt be 9 trillion.
Lakoff should be president.
Hey, my favorite Iron maiden album is peace of mind, i hope those niggas go back on tour soon!
He is a conservative, and he is in pain because he’s hearing the truth.
WHAT THE FUCK. I never knew Youtube actually made videos that are an hour long.
What has cogs done to this point? Nothing at all….Using backwards speak….middle man theories….Mediumship.
Do you enjoy Georgelette Lakoff?
the dude in the white shirt at 34:34 looks really uncomfortable. should have just watched the youtube from the comfort of his la-z-boy like i did.
haha what’s up with the dude in the red shirt at 42:15?
This may surprise you, but there are people on the Internet from all sorts of varied backgrounds.
yup conservatives believe in an objective morality whereas liberals believe in a relativist morality.
Obviously you’re not familiar with North American Politics.
What’s this blathering nonsense you’re spouting again?
why don’t you guys just take his class and argue with him in person? are you all too old to go to school? or did you not get into Berkeley?
oh my… he stopped speaking on linguists and now he’s using linguistics to dupe the audience using words like nurturing family for liberals and strict discipline family for conservatives
it’s real non-sense this is trying to be politically correct yet biologically socially domestically incorrect
he’s still stuck on the 60s fad of feminism while if you read on the current literature of the leading authors of 60s they are all in a state of confusion for the horror they had unleashd on women
very shallow in his world view this man
though the part on linguistics is good
That’s horseshit if I’ve ever heard it. Thanks for the laugh, ass hat.
your a fucking peice of shit and i hate you. alot. you dont know anything about life. go to hell.
can do… will do
cannot do.. will teach.
academic have voted themselves jobs for life.
free -welfare for academic for life.
“money for nothing” “chicks for free”
on the other hand….every revolution ever
I have never met a Liberal who is willing to sacrifice anything they are so interested in being unique that they are unwavering selfish and unable to experience or bring about change. The Conservatives that I know spend their lives making daily sacrifices for the people around them, it is somewhat part of their natural routine to sacrifice and make it possible for those around them to meet their full potential.

When i first read what this guy wrote awhile back I believed (agreed?) that Conservatives are daddy-like and Liberals are mommy-like. But I do not agree anymore: I think now that Conservatives are gender-role embracing, daddy is daddy & mommy is mommy; primarily social, willing to compromise individual freedom to take a part in a whole; liberals are androgyny-embracing, want freedom to pick & choose traits, custom build an identity, & willing to sacrifice “social unit cohesion” advantages
