Dacher Keltner, Born to Be Good, Your Jen Ratio
and Cro ... [podcast with transcript]
!
“… to tilt your jen ratio (and we will talk about that on the
show) to what the poet Percy Shelley describes as the great
secret of morals, the identification of ourselves with the beautiful
which exists in thought, action or person, not our own.”
!
This podcast/transcript contains the thought experiment called
“the chicken”.
!
“… what we’ve learned in the studies of primate hierarchies and
human hierarchies is that hierarchies are everywhere. We fold
into ranks and hierarchies to smooth out the functioning of the
group to help us make decisions and the like.
They are everywhere but they are different than other primates in
an important way which is that humans because of our social
intelligence can form alliances. We can form networks. We can
constrain the actions of single leaders in a lot of organizations
and social groups and what that shift in evolution did was place a
burden upon people who were leading to advance the interest of
the group and not to be Machiavellian. A lot of our research and
this was also Cameron Anderson at the Haas School of Business,
what these studies are finding is that groups selected leaders who
bring people together and move the group forward in productive
fashion. And they quickly detect Machiavellians and exclude them
from opportunities for power…..”

Synchrony and the Social Tuning of Compassion
!
“… We also found that synchrony enhances liking, but of
import, we show that its influence on prosocial behavior can
operate outside of this effect…. this could stem from the
context of the interaction. Perhaps rapport and liking
generated by coordinated action influenced subsequent
prosocial responses only in instances where a meaningful
social interaction has occurred and individuals can interpret
that interaction as a legitimate basis for their feelings…..”
