Looking forward to reading Adam Szetela's brave investigation of stifling ideological conformity and censorship in mainstream publishing. Long overdue. amazon.com/That-Book-Dang…

I recommend @jonathangottsch’s book The Storytelling Animal: How Stories Make Us Human in every @businessofstory mastery course I provide businessofstory.com/podcast/busine…. Now I’m enjoying his 2021 book, The Story Paradox: How Our Love of Storytelling Builds Societies And Tears Them Down.


This article by @brianklaas on MAGA conspiracy theories is the best succinct encapsulation of the psychology of conspiracism I can remember reading. theatlantic.com/international/…


my jacket blurb for @brianklaas's fast read FLUKE: "Fluke is the intellectual equivalent of a slap across the face.... Klaas’s beautifully written application of chaos theory to human experience won’t just shift your paradigm, it’ll detonate it." theatlantic.com/international/…

Congrats Dennis!! A plumb pub. Looking forward to reading.

Been reading Skeptic for 25 years. Picked up my first issue right after reading Carl Sagan's "Demon-Haunted World." So cool to see my name on the contents page. Thank you @michaelshermer
