Haidt describes morality as like a matrix (yes, the movie) i.e. morality binds and blinds us.

At 5:30, he introduces five moral concepts that he thinks are "on the first draft of the moral mind" (picture of a baby). Okay. At 9:00, he describes liberals as having a two-channel morality, and conservatives as having a five-channel morality. I want to criticize that statement.

Cooperative inquiry is important to morality too. Inquiry allows us to progress morally, and we have to respect eachothers independent conclusions so that inquiry can carry on smoothly. Maybe this isn't on the "first draft" of the moral mind, but it's definitely part of morality (pragmatic ethics). In some instances, conservatives have criticized research on the basis of its conclusions rather than its methedology. I bet liberals would have a better understanding of this principle.
Furthermore, those five categories could probably be broken down further, and the disparity might become more naunced as we break them down.
