Can we change the Moral Judgment of Human beings

Nice video.

It talks about RTPJ. N how can we change the moral judgment that we make.

The speaker says RTPJ is responsible for judging how we judge other's actions. N how the response changes when we stimulate the brain RTPJ with magnetic impulse.

She gives example of how Grace innocently gave her friend a coffee with poison. And judgment of people on this behavior. When there less response at RTPJ, ppl paid little attention to her innocent belief and said she deserves lot of blame.  When there was more response people believed on her belief and said she deserves less punishment.

Awesome quote in the end "Getting people right is not what living is all about, its getting them wrong that's living, its getting them wrong n wrong n wrong.....n then on careful reconsideration getting them wrong again".
