Why do humans find symmetry so appealing? Is it biological, evolutionary, or a product of our collective consciousness?

A great way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting. Why Starry Night was so famous: bit.ly/49VNzyl

New post! Drawing on a wide range of sources, evidence, and arguments, I argue for a social model of motivated reasoning. Put simply, the primary reason we convince ourselves of falsehoods in domains like politics, religion, and conspiracy theorising is not that we can’t handle the truth. It’s that holding accurate beliefs is often a losing move in social games involving advocacy, reputation management, and status competition. I also argue that the “you can’t handle the truth!” model of human psychology is not just mistaken; it is pernicious. It encourages the view that when people accept “harsh” beliefs that they don’t want to be true, they are being rational and truth-seeking—even heroic. In reality, people are often motivated to convince themselves of negative, pessimistic beliefs, and it often takes courage and intellectual virtue to confront positive truths. conspicuouscognition.com/p/wishful-thin…

Robert Trivers (1943-2026) ajudou-nos a perceber que compreender a natureza humana exige primeiro compreender a evolução. RIP

Schools are not designed for our evolved psychology. Lack of free play, having to sit on a chair for hours, not mixing with different age groups (which can foster learning)-all are evolutionary mismatches. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/darwin…
