Social Neuroscience with Mahzarin Banaji

Summary: Harvard professor Mahzarin Banaji explains that we have specialized regions of the brain for understanding other humans (vs thinking about objects). We classify people as"similar" vs "different/other" and we actually use different parts of our brain to process that information. This means we are not judging others equally at all, even when we think we're being fair to all sides. It requires a conscious effort to avoid misjudgments and even then, we are limited.
