We show the work.
We study how people talk, argue, and make up their minds, and we publish what we find with the data.
Coming up
American Society of Criminology.
Annual meeting · Chicago · November 2026
We’re presenting our work on how people argue and decide. More is coming soon.
What we study.
Reasoning
How people weigh a claim against the facts.
Persuasion
Why an argument lands with one public, not another.
Attention
What noise costs people, and who ends up paying.
Metacognition
Thinking about thinking, and how to practice it.
Long talks, long shadows.
