Listen "What is Left Wing, Right Wing, and the Political Spectrum?"

Episode Synopsis

Today, Corey talks Left Wing and Right Wing - what do they mean, and what exactly is the political spectrum? It’s a shift from what you’ve heard so far on the podcast. We’re veering away from an interview format and focusing on going deep on specific ideas in a more story-telling, explorative format. That, and, we're also focusing on actually *defining terms*. Hope you enjoy the experiment! More coming your way. Stay tuned, and appreciate that feedback as always. Find Corey: coreysleep.netTwitter: @rexCo27Instagram: @rexCo27Sources for today’s podcast: Studies on disease, personality & political belief: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/21565503.2018.1484376https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/tops.12175https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0062275Information on the history of the Left/Right Wing political spectrum: https://www.history.com/news/how-did-the-political-labels-left-wing-and-right-wing-originatehttps://www.britannica.com/event/French-RevolutionInformation and inspiration also drawn from The Coddling of the American Mind by Greg Lukianoff & Jonathan Haidt
