The Jonathan Haidt
Framework
Moral Psychology & Viewpoint Diversity
Jonathan Haidt represents one of the most distinctive thinking patterns in their field. Jonathan Haidt's approach — captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask. The moral psychology & viewpoint diversity framework distils Jonathan Haidt's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds. Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Jonathan Haidt made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Jonathan Haidt's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.
A glimpse of Jonathan Haidt's thinking.
Moral reasoning is mostly post-hoc rationalization: the elephant (intuition) moves first, and the rider (reason) constructs a justification afterward. This means changing minds through argument alone is nearly impossible without first addressing the underlying moral taste receptor being triggered. Morality did not evolve to help individuals find truth — it evolved to bind groups together and defend against threats, which is why moral communities are simultaneously the source of humanity's greatest cooperation and its most intractable conflicts. The path forward is not to eliminate moral diversity but to treat it as a feature of a well-functioning society that prevents any single moral vision from going unchecked.
