How to be good | Oliver Scott Curry | TEDxPrague

What’s the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, moral and immoral? How do you know if you're doing the right thing?

Oliver Scott Curry investigates the nature, content and structure of human morality. He argues that morals are best understood as a collection of biological and cultural rules for promoting different types of cooperation. Here he shows how the same set of seven moral rules can be found all around the world, and argues that these rules provide a blueprint for how to be good. Oliver is Research Director for kindness.org, and a Research Affiliate of the University of Oxford.
