Talking points: history, psychology, mindset, culture Like George Santayana said, those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it.

Talking points: masculinity, isolation, culture, suicide Look, Netflix's Adolescence was solid. But like anything Hollywood, it's not the whole picture.

Talking point: dating, relationships, risk I recently came across some work by Alexander (aka @DatePsych), where he put together some fascinating data.
