Last week, we launched the world's ultimate guide to climate solutions -- the Drawdown Explorer.
People thought we were nuts to give it (and all the underlying data) away for free. But we insisted.
During a crisis, you don't put crucial data behind a paywall.

Selecting Out of “Politics”: The Self-Fulfilling Role of Conflict Expectation
Selecting Out of “Politics”: The Self-Fulfilling Role of Conflict Expectation By Eric Groenendyk, University of Memphis; Yanna Krupnikov, University of Michigan; John Barry Ryan, University of Michigan; Elizabeth C. Connors, University of South Carolina. In recent decades, the term “politics” has become almost synonymous with conflict. Results from eight studies show that individuals averse to conflict tend to select out of surveys and discussions explicitly labeled as “political.” This suggests that the inferences researchers draw from “political” surveys, as well as the impressions average Americans draw from explicitly “political” discussions, will be systematically biased toward conflict.

🧵New paper out in Cognition
Why do people moralize harmless carnal sins (e.g. gluttony, masturbation)?
@danielnettle.bsky.social & I find that these behaviors activate reciprocity-based moral judgment—no need for a distinct "purity" module.
