I did brain science at Cambridge. Now I'm a behaviour science professor. Read my shit.

America is less polarised than it used to be. WaPo. This actually does not seem, automatically, to have been a good thing. One of the theories around Trump’s re-establishment has been that he collects marginalised minorities. This isn’t polarisation but it’s still troubling agglomeration. What do un-polarised people do in a polarised system? Good news overall though, and an indication that the media effects are waning.

If you don’t do the thinking, the thinking will be done for you.
