Changelog
A bunch of articles updated. Three of note. Two new articles. All of which, you can find in the newsletter. Reporting on the coronavirus pandemic and the US election is highlighting the tensions inherent to media reporting. Worth revisiting Chompsky, I think.

Changelog
Plato excursion has led us down a little democracy rabbithole. Our democracy is most certainly not like his.

Changelog
A big dig into Plato the last couple of weeks, and by extension Socrates. Some preliminary notes here. His Republic will have to wait for another time.

Changelog
Facebook relaunched. Still almost 2000 followers after a year or more of neglect. My apologies.
First newsletter sent in over a year. Mailchimp forced me to delete all subscribers and invite them to subscribe to a new list. I’m glad so many of you resubscribed.
In the newsletter I point out a new article and a couple of old updated ones, but really quite a few have been updated in the process of relaunching the site. All the old articles can be found in the archive for The Dirt Psychology.

Changelog
Website relaunched. Seven years on and The Dirt Psychology has become something more.
Turns out that brain science isn’t always really psychology, and often both are philosophy. When the goal is to turn scholarship into wisdom, we need to cast the net a little wider.
Several old articles were also updated as part of the upgrade for the launch article On Attraction and Love in an effort toward more project focused research.
Using a static site generator (tightenco/jigsaw) since accessibility was a problem for readers with slower internet.
