Episode notes

Alex Jones: I just finished a book, came out a few months ago, called The Power of Us with Dominic Packer. It's really about the psychology of individuals and groups and how we start to identify with groups that changes the way we think about an act in the world. He says there is some new research he wants to talk about as sort of an addendum to the things he was working on at the time. Alex Jones: People really do love this book; it's very important, especially in this strange epistemic, chaotic craziness of not just COVID, but the end of a bizarre administration.

In this episode we sit down with NYU psychologist Jay Van Bavel who is very good at Twitter. His feed is always overflowing with the absolute latest and greatest research from psychology with links to papers as they come out – on many of the topics we so often explore on this podcast – and in this episode we discuss ten of those tweets and the research he’s shared.
