In true nerdy academic form, I wrote a memoir through the lens of social science. Trust Your Mind shows how to exit groupthink (at least my journey) & what international researchers say in their studies. Grateful to the @interintellect_ team for hosting a deep dive!
How do we lead groups without losing our independent minds? Join @TKPullinger and psychology journalist @bopsource to discover strategies from Trust Your Mind—an Interactive dive into group dynamics and the future of free speech.

Thanks Joe! Super fun 💯
This @bopsource interview of @katrosenfield was so good ... And I only caught the last half!
Thank you, and I loved the brief discussion about #InGroupDissent at the end. 💪🎯👍

Interesting and nuanced argument from @shadihamid’s new book on the morally aspirational utility of performance
In my new @TIME essay adapted from my book 'The Case For American Power,' I argue in defense of hypocrisy as necessary for a moral life. To be seen as hypocritical is the cost of trying to be better than you actually are. And that's a good thing.

So fun to catch up with @TaraRHenley — can the heterodox space make room for love? We talk race, God, compassion and the science of groupthink.
