A year ago Kurt Gray and I argued that popular discourse about the "loneliness epidemic" might be making people more lonely. Today Nature Communications published direct evidence for this: reading news stories about the risks of isolation makes people feel worse about being alone. 🧵

Do liberals prioritize distant others over close relationships? Our large-scale analyses find no tradeoff—liberals’ broader moral concern coexists with care for family & community. Implications for policy & moral psychology: osf.io/preprints/psya… #MoralPsychology #Ideology

Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus. Data: Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet. Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.

Maggie is very happy with the delivery of Kurt Gray's new book and said she's really excited to learn about why we fight about morality and politics (and ideally why people that prefer cats are evil).

See what others are saying about OUTRAGED! 👀📖 Kurt Gray’s groundbreaking book challenges everything we think we know about moral judgment, outrage, and what really divides us. 🌎💡 Could understanding harm be the key to bridging the gap? penguinrandomhouse.com/books/714327/o…

Health systems globally use universal standards to diagnose everything from anemia to malnutrition. But by treating bodies as identical, these benchmarks hide dysfunction & often worsen outcomes. My newest essay argues for embracing biological diversity: newyorker.com/magazine/2025/…

New post: What do a physicist in a strip club, a pop star in a church, and government officials making war plans in a group chat have in common? 🔬🎤💣 The setting is all wrong—so wrong that their decisions start to feel immoral. (🔗 in thread)
