Originally posted on Tact Technology In commercials for AXE deodorant, popular with adolescent boys, its qualities are always advertised in roughly the same way: by showing that a man – however unattractive – becomes irresistible to women when he smells of AXE. This modern variation on the love potion illustrates the kind of fantasy of control […]

With six weeks remaining until the U.S. Presidential Election, the race is locked in a virtual deadlock. That fact, in and of itself, is pretty remarkable given that a woman is as likely to be the next president as a man. I understand that readers in countries such as the UK and Germany will not find that […]

In a just-published research piece, a group of scholars from Harvard and University College of London posed a significant challenge to the supposed benefits of “fact-based” reasoning.[1] The way people respond to factual arguments – in this case, the researchers used scientifically-based findings concerning climate change – is predetermined by their previous beliefs. Exposure to […]
