It’s been quite a while since I’ve shared a psychology-related write-up. Recently, I saw a clip of liberal commentary that prompted a realization: even many otherwise balanced, reasonable people don’t fully understand what’s happening in the psyches of those on the radical ends of the political spectrum.

This connection lies at the heart of the CTMU and represents its most profound purpose—to bridge the gap between how we think andContinueContinue reading “The Purpose of CTMU: Bridging Cognition and the Universe”
