社会を変えるにあたって重要なことは、「個人と社会構造」みたいな枠組みで考えないこと、そして個人が個人であることをちょっと減らすことだ。いいこと言うじゃん。

My interview with social change experts and philosophy professors Michael Brownstein, Dan Kelly, and Alex Madva on their fantastic new book Somebody Should Do Something. A must read if you’re thinking about big social problems, how they change, and what you can do

[Daniel Kelly @dryan149]

"A must-read for anyone interested in escaping the demoralizing effects of pessimism, in favor of defining their own role in fighting for social change." —Thomas J. Davis, Library Review

The first review is a good one and the book website is live!

Awkwardness alerts us to the fact that our social norms are under construction.

[Aeon Magazine @aeonmag]

‘Awkwardness highlights the fact that our interactions are scripted. Its aversiveness shows the extent to which people prefer not to be reminded of this fact.’ We should take awkwardness less personally, and more seriously @alexplakias https://t.co/6hR7tQpNdN

@evan_westra & I reply to @paulbloomatyale's post on our essay on norm psychology and social change -- we agree some norm changes *are* more annoying than others, but don't think the differences are best understood in terms of moral/non-moral features https://t.co/4HL0vVuqIc
