I'm not sure I fully follow. Are we saying purity/sanctity is one thing? Where is the opposite. Should it be purity/creativity? Loyalty/openness. Fairness/Justice

While those are the terms the study I provided use, Haidt himself used the following dichotomies in his book (elaborated upon on pages 110-126, and summarized on page 127):

Care/harm, fairness/cheating, loyalty/betrayal, authority/subversion, sanctity/degradation.

Those don't seem equivalent in neutrality. Sanctity vs degradation are harsh. Sanctity vs change is more neutral. I'm guessing this author came to an interesting conclusion.

They're definitely not, you're right. The author is a moderate at best. I don't know why people keep listening to and quoting him.
