  1. Tribalism

    The problem is not that we disagree. It's how we disagree — and how tribal instincts corrupt the mechanisms that should resolve disagreement.

  2. The Typical Mind Fallacy

    Old wisdom and new science keep arriving at the same place from different directions. This is not coincidence.
