[PREVIEW] Genetics & Morality: Katherine Paige Harden
About this episode
Kathryn Paige Harden is a behavioral geneticist and Professor of Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She leads the Developmental Behavior Genetics lab and acts as co-director of the Texas Twin Project. We discuss the blank slate thesis, the crisis of liberalism, morality, evolution, and theology. These taboo topics have taken on new significance in the reactionary environment of online culture.
Kathryn Paige Harden is the author of “Original Sin: On the Genetics of Vice, the Problem of Blame and the Future of Forgiveness” (2025) and “The Genetic Lottery” (2021).
