In The Bad Place, I have a pinned thread of my covid essays & threads, w/ short descriptions of ea. Here's one for This Place, though w/o descriptions, b/c I'm tired. As is true there, I've put them in reverse chrono order, but anything new will post at the end. I flagged ones people liked best:
Updated 📌 list of my essays on the psychology of public health (inc. topics like covid, HIV & reproductive health). As of 8/22/25, there are *31* long-form pieces in this 🧵.
The list starts in reverse chrono. order, but in Oct. 2024 starts rolling forward, so oldest posts are in the middle. Doh.

I'm not sure how well it lands as an explainer of how the Germans lost their way, if you don't have the solid background knowledge that so many young people today seem to lack.
But as an explainer for right now - chilling.

Folks, here's your periodic reminder to be very wary of anonymous/pseudonymous blog accounts that claim to be field experts - like, in psychology. Sometimes what they write sounds like common sense - & sometimes it resonates b/c it's what you want to hear. But that doesn't make it accurate or true.
You brought up personality differences across party. Politeness is a researched subconstruct of agreeableness, which is the only relevant, well-researched personality factor, here. If you look at the lit., you'll see it includes factors such as the tendency to embrace or avoid conflict. As I said...

Reminder: the Surgeon Gen. of Louisiana through this year's pertussis mess was Ralph Abraham, who's just been named the CDC's new principal deputy director.
In LA, Abraham kept the news of *their* pertussis outbreak a secret from both HCWs & residents. No notice or vaccine clinics; just crickets.

In fact, in 2019 (pre-pandemic!), I wrote my own thanksgiving essay about MAGA, for a private group; it became the 1st piece there that folks convinced me to "take public." 6 yrs. later, I'd edit it down a bunch, but I still stand by what I said.

The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.
