  • Summary

  • Kurt Gray's Outraged explores the role of harm in shaping human morality and political division. The book argues that our moral minds are fundamentally driven by perceptions of harm, explaining why seemingly harmless acts can spark outrage and why political disagreements often center on differing assumptions about vulnerability. Gray challenges the notion of humans as apex predators, proposing instead that our evolutionary history as prey profoundly influences our moral judgments. He examines how concept creep, the expansion of what constitutes harm, contributes to increased moral outrage in a safer world, and suggests that emphasizing personal stories of harm, rather than facts alone, can bridge political divides and foster understanding. Finally, the book discusses how moral typecasting, where people are labeled as either victims or villains, further complicates moral discourse.
