Guys I can’t keep doing this independently. I need a job. If you know of a place—advocacy, OSINT org, think tank, left media, etc—where I could take this work in-house, pls let me know. I admire the folks making independent work for them, but I am collapsing under the weight and the lack of impact.

I've changed my mind about the origins of essentialist intuitions quite a bit over the years, and it was great to have Wolfgang Wagner renew my attention to the puzzle. So many clever contributors have refined my beliefs about the phenomena and changed my mind about what we know.

First paper of the PD out! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... We argue that we can think about the start of a new collective ritual as a Stag Hunt Game. But a frequency-independent payoff is needed to get it going. In our case, perceived miracles is such a mechanism!

My favorite part of @nicolasrestrepo.bsky.social 's model is that it provides a theoretically cogent account of why uncertainty is associated with the emergence (and stabilization) of new rituals without assuming specific psychological needs (e.g. for certainty).

The Senators that voted 'yes' on this disastrous bill represent more than 30 million FEWER Americans than the Senators that voted 'no.'

Senate Republicans dropped a nearly 1,000-page “Big Beautiful Bill” in the DEAD OF THE NIGHT. And they want to vote on it TODAY. Trump is jamming through a bill that rips away health care, closes hospitals, raises grocery and utility bills to give tax breaks to billionaires.
