Thank you Ms. Hoai-Luu Nguyen! Keep on representing Vietnamese excellence on TH-cam. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.

[@quantumskull2045]

This channel is great, it should be a lot more popular.

[@temperr.haring3508]

Very interesting video! Thanks!

[@jaymayhoi]

super interesting, never thought about the connection before

[@hazyipa]

This is fascinating, and when I think about the people and experiences I've had in my life, it really resonates. The last chart, showing the difference in support for global vs local policy, seems very accurate (based off my biased experiences). Great video as always

[@phucdo7413]

Maybe make a Patreon for supporters?

[@wvereijssen9449]

good vid😀

[@DelapierceD]

Very interesting. It is worth bringing more Political Economy into this. With a framework of Dialectical Materialism (as per Marx), I do not see poor people as just unlucky and in need of help, but as being actively exploited by Capitalists. This increases my support for policy that benefits them

[@jrdhrpr]

Excellent video as always, though about 50% of it went over my head 😅

[@adamrotblit]

There should be a definition of Universalism at the beginning of this.

[@guslackner9270]

Moral Universalism is defined at 0:52.

[@PoliticalEconomy101]

What about Idpol? Thats found on both the left and the right. It gets even more confusing when you consider nationalism or socialism in one country, or libertarians.

[@charleschaffanjon8864]

It’s a huge hypothesis to reduce moral universalism to splitting $100 between 2 people !

Super interesting paper, but this seems more like poli sci than economics, no?

[@Decoy1138]

Economics = quantitative social science done right 😊

[@evanoc]

@@Decoy1138 poli sci can be very quantitative too tho lol

[@localidiot4078]

@@Decoy1138 found the economics bro.

[@Decoy1138]

Interdisciplinary research ftw 💜 (but econ is better 😉)

[@evanoc]

@@Decoy1138 lol i think they're both good! Social science supremacy sucks in general

[@user-wr4yl7tx3w]

most Americans don’t support spending money on affirmative actions. Why make that assertions as if those who support welfare support such race based quota system.

[@user-wr4yl7tx3w]

Why such videos that are unrelated to economics? Why such shift toward less science.

[@knasiotis1]

economics is a social science
