@torygattis This is so cool. Thank you for letting me know.

Right there with you, my friend.

Well said, my friend.

[Matt Frendewey @mattfrendewey]

We are living through an era of political violence, the only way out is to reject zero-sum thinking. @toddrose reminds us that we share far more in private than the echo chambers admit. As a nation born through disagreement, we must confront them with…

Beautifully said, @GovCox. We all have agency. We all can make the right choice in our own lives.

[Bridget Phetasy @BridgetPhetasy]

Every single world of this.

[Todd Rose @toddrose]

Exactly right, @JonHaidt. When speech is redefined as violence it’s a short step to justifying violence against speech. The two of you were way ahead on this issue. Keep up the good work.

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

We must repudiate the idea that "speech can be violence" once and for all. @glukianoff and I wrote about the dangers of promoting this idea on college campuses back in 2017, in @TheAtlantic:

This is absolutely despicable behavior. @JessicaBRiedl is a brilliant economist. Argue with her about her ideas all you want, but leave her and her family alone.

[Jessica Riedl 🧀 🇺🇦 @JessicaBRiedl]

I'm not an elected official. I'm not a culture warrior. I'm barely a public figure. I'm just some economist who writes about federal spending & taxes. But because I also happen to be LGBT, these sociopaths unleash a public campaign against my entire family. They can burn in hell.

I enjoyed reading this article by @eliza_relman for @BusinessInsider that profiled our work at Populace.

We discussed the findings from our most recent study: the Social Pressure Index. This research confirmed that an alarming majority of Americans — regardless of age, gender, race, income, and political party — are self-silencing.

You can find the complete Social Pressure Index report at https://t.co/QlyeamPt6k.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with @evanbaehr for his new series, "In the Arena," which delves into the major challenges facing our country and the entrepreneurs stepping up to address them.

In this episode, we had a great conversation about the implications of false consensus, the limitations of existing institutions, and the crucial need for greater individual autonomy.

I firmly believe—and research from my think tank, Populace, confirms—that we are ready to break free from systems and institutions that prioritize control and conformity. We are ready for something better: for positive-sum systems that prioritize autonomy, individuality, and cooperation for mutual benefit.

Thank you to @evanbaehr and @freethinkmedia for putting together this great episode.

Collective Illusions and self-silencing are everywhere  — even made aware in @Netflix’s latest release #NobodyWantsThis starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, created by Erin Foster and produced by @saramfoster (who I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with on their podcast).

This is a part of the problem: 61% of Americans are self-silencing on issues that make us uncomfortable, leading us to not be honest about our true opinions, which make us think we are more divided than we actually are.

[Todd Rose @toddrose]

Thank you to @erica_pandey at @axios for the feature on Populace’s new study, the Social Pressure Index. As highlighted in the article: There's a growing disconnect between what Americans will publicly say and what they privately believe (which has enormous social, political, and personal consequences). Our new research quantifies where (and to what extent) Americans are misrepresenting their views the most. Check out the full article below, or visit https://t.co/BnpudFgeY1 for the full report.

Dear Swifties:

The radical theocratic terrorists that targeted the Taylor Swift concert are functionally the same people that want to destroy Israel.

The ideology is the same. The willingness to kill civilians is the same. The goal is the same.

When you support Hamas, you’re supporting the same people that wanted to assassinate Taylor Swift and her fans.

“Economists say” … unbelievable. 🤡

[Michael C Moynihan @mcmoynihan]

The New York Times concludes that Venezuela was destroyed by “brutal capitalism.” Unreal.

[Todd Rose @toddrose]

Okay, this is really (nerdy) cool.

If you take a Petri dish, castor oil and some ball bearings and put all in an electric field, you might happen to spot an interesting behavior: self-assembling wires who appear to be almost alive

[Todd Rose @toddrose]

This is profoundly despicable. Anyone who supports this kind of pathological behavior should be utterly ashamed of themselves (although something tells me shame is in short supply within the “by any means necessary” death cult).

[Rep. Brad Schneider @RepSchneider]

My Capitol office was vandalized yesterday in a vile act of hate in which the posters of the more than 100 people still held hostage in Gaza (including 8 Americans) were ripped from the wall, shredded and tossed across the hallway.

[Todd Rose @toddrose]

It definitely is a big problem, but I do think there are ways to deal with it. Or, at least, I’m going to spend my energy trying because it’s one thing to lose the American experiment via external threats and another thing to be brought down by manipulating perceived consensus and allowing us to tear ourselves apart.

[Todd Rose @toddrose]

This is a perfect example of a Collective Illusion. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations!!!
