Launch post: Why people are more rational than you think.
How rational are people in general? How about your political opponents? How about yourself? Many popular and social-scientific answers to these questions are unflattering. Yet most of us think and act as if we are exceptions.
Stranger Apologies is a place where I try to square this circle. Subscribe for posts on what cognitive science and philosophy teach us about rationality, bias, and why our world is so full of disagreement.
