👉 The "Weapon" in the essays by Jonathan Haidt and his co-authors refers to the moral foundations that underpin human ethical judgments and behavior. It encompasses six core moral dimensions: Care/Harm, Fairness/Cheating, Loyalty/Betrayal, Authority/Subjugation, Sanctity/Degradation, and Liberty/Oppression. These foundations are not mutually exclusive and often interact in complex ways to shape our moral intuitions, social norms, and political ideologies. Haidt argues that while these foundations are innate and universal, their relative importance can vary across cultures and individuals, influencing how we perceive right and wrong and guiding our actions in both personal and collective contexts.
