Since "Thinking, Fast and Slow" was published in 2011, science has faced the replication crisis. Many famous findings have failed to reproduce, including many from the book. It remains a valuable book on judgment, but it should be read with caution. I wrote this to help: critikid.com/a-modern-gui...

Pseudoscience is not the same as bad science. Bad science is a faulty version of good science. It follows the scientific method, but it makes mistakes. Pseudoscience, on the other hand, is not science at all. Read more: critikid.com/how-to-spot-...

Right now, allsome.app puzzles work in 3 steps: First you solve 2 circles, then 3, then 4, as shown in the pictures. Do you think it would be better if the first two steps were skipped and you just had to solve 4 circles right away?
People often use the terms heuristics, cognitive biases, and logical fallacies interchangeably. While they can be connected, they don’t mean the same thing. critikid.com/heuristics-b...

Something that people often forget: Explaining something is different than advocating for it.
Pseudoscience looks like science in that it uses technical language and "experiments," but without the safeguards that make science reliable. Like stage magic, it creates a convincing illusion. The difference is that magicians are honest about what they are doing.
I just published All/Some's latest collection for members: history! So now there are 3 collections for members: Everyday Concepts, History, and Biology. It costs $4.99 a month to get access to these collections, and I'm going to add more soon. allsome.app/collection/h...
