@BriHReed Perhaps the 25% were wired differently. For example, maybe they had a stronger tolerance for ambiguity. A strong need for cognitive closure (ambiguity aversion) can correlate with conspiracy beliefs.

@IsaacDovere I live less than a block from here. In 15 years the only thing I have had to fear are untrained, armed guys high on glazed donuts.

@RadioFreeTom In 2000, in a WSJ story, Singapore’s legendary Lee Kuan Yew called air conditioning the most influential invention of the past millennium. “Air conditioning. … It changed the nature of civilization by making development possible in the tropics.��� @RadioFreeTom

Half of all the Inspector General (IG) positions (37 out of 74) are vacant after mass firings. Government and companies need watchmen. Watchmen need watchmen. Without that we all descend into cynical distrust. https://t.co/59XLFhurNm

Rather than show the close match featuring superstar doubles team of Tiafoe & Shelton, @TennisChannel has chosen to air a repeat from 2022!

[Christopher Graves @CGraves]

@TennisChannel has lost its programming mind. While Shelton and Tiafoe team up,Tennis Channel does not air it. Instead a third-tier match on @TennisChannel 2 and non-event match on channel 1. Stadium match of Tiafoe & Shelton doubles is what your doubles-playing audience wants

Which type of Olympian are you? The Nike ruthless individualist ("winning isn't for everyone") or the Comcast team Communitarian ("winning isn't everything") These two diametrically opposed ads running now: https://t.co/TNnGXfAQ92

@noobestjohn @DG_Rand @tomstello_ @GordPennycook In our research in this domain and in vaccine hesitancy, the notion that “I did the research myself” was important to cementing beliefs or rethinking them.

[Christopher Graves @CGraves]

In behavioral science, this approach is called “convert communicators.” I wrote about this in HBR long ago https://t.co/PnU3q47med but an early version from 50 years ago was used in anti-alcohol comms https://t.co/XMiQQX9IDA

.@SarahLongwell25: “The most persuasive tool for peeling off these sort of disaffected Republican voters...Is to use real Republican voters. Everybody that's a part of our campaign...actually voted for Trump at least once. And they explain why they won't do it again.”

@DeermanTheHoly @KoniWaves You have the wrong @cgraves. I had nothing to do with this book.

Another gem from the neuroscience-of-trust expert @pauljzak that combines the scientific insights with practical application. Paul is also @Nudgestock @Ogilvy alum. https://t.co/aaVHo6JBM1

Until recently, we’ve only been able to assume what makes people trust others. Now neuroscience offers some answers. https://t.co/UjIov7apKZ
