Happy American Independence Day from FAIR! 🇺🇸

In the last 250 years, the values of liberty, equality, and the rights of the individual have united us as Americans and continually inspired progress toward a future where all can enjoy these ideals. Today, let's honor this milestone and the progress we have made, and continue building a future "with liberty and justice for all."

Something to read and think about!

Where does Viewpoint Diversity Matter the Most? Answer: Anywhere our identities are at stake.

“Because of this cost, we are prone to engage in ideologically motivated reasoning that will spare us the problematic conclusion. Better to gloss over the evidence than to deal with the pain of cognitive dissonance. Given the discomfort of cognitive dissonance, it’s no surprise that a wealthy man thinks that his wealth is largely the result of personal choices and that the poor man thinks that poverty is largely the result of circumstances outside of his control. Each needs to sleep well at night.

One central facet of our identity is our membership in a group. Humans are deeply social creatures, and our identities are intertwined with belonging. In principle, this need not cause any epistemic trouble; humans might have sorted themselves into in-groups and out-groups by cultural, religious, or political symbols like dress, tattoos, etc. instead of beliefs.” - Justin McBrayer
