Because today, people are unwilling to admit the evidence when it conflicts with comforting or intuitive notions.

This is where human rationality breaks down. People can argue rationally - but they can do so from insufficient evidence. Not because they don't know.

But because they are unwilling to know. Knowledge is scary sometimes.

As Donny Miller once remarked: 'in the age of information, ignorance is a choice'. 

We can know, but do we want to know. Increasing numbers of people are choosing ignorance.

If you do want to know, and you're willing to admit the challenge and necessity of being wrong, this is the page for you. Cherished beliefs are up for grabs. Evidence, reason, but not 'scientism' are on the agenda.

Here I'll not only humbly offer my own modest contributions, I'll also make 'knowing' - real knowing - accessible to all. It doesn't matter if you're a new undergrad, a high school student, or a curious blue collar worker, the capacity to think better, to hone and train your Higher Order Thinking Skills, is within your grasp.

Don't let elitists and knowledge snobs tell you otherwise.

And don't let yourself be gaslit by those who celebrate ignorance and have gone down the rabbit hole of conspiracy type thinking.

Let them go. You do you. Making research and quality thinking accessible is the mission here.

Below I provide a preview and links to anything I've researched. 

This includes published papers, book chapters, and conference papers. 

They are in reverse chronology (most recent first).
