The following can also be found in the About page, but it merits its own post so we all know why we’re here.

Everybody is wrong.

No, we don’t mean those idiots who voted for the wrong candidate last election, believe in the wrong god(s), or spend too much/little money. Politics, religion, and money are the clearest examples of groupthink and mass delusion, but they’ve already been beaten to death by everyone and his dog, including our friends Scott Adams, Sam Harris, and Paula Pant, so this blog doesn’t touch any of those subjects.

Instead, this blog examines other aspects of life in which following the crowd can be wrong or even dangerous. There’s no safety in numbers, but there is complacency. And like lemmings, we follow the crowd so blindly that we believe ridiculous myths such as Lemming Suicide.

This blog is fairly free-form, so aside from our taboo subjects anything is fair game. Nobody, not even the authors, will agree with everything on this site. The more uncomfortable you feel, the more new ideas you’re holding in your head, even if you ultimately reject them. This is a good thing.

If everyone agrees on an opinion, that’s your indicator to try on the opposing view. You might not like it, like an ugly hat, but that’s okay. You can always take it off. If you like it, though, then you might have just saved society.
