About
We need to think more carefully about the people we elect to represent us.
Because critical thinkers make better decisions, and we need to make better decisions about who we put in office.
Chris McDonough, Founder
You can find me on Linkedin. Anther civics hoppy of mine is https://mountvernoncitizen.org/ I am not affiliated with any political party. I share things in common with democrats, republicans, libertarians, members of the green party, the working families party…lots of people. The problem with political parties, especially the democrats and republicans, is that they promote ‘group think’ and, increasingly, deep tribal divisions. I think that’s a disaster for a free, pluralistic, society like ours. So, I try to remain ‘unaffiliated’ as much as possible, because that helps me to think independently, which in turn helps me to find common ground with people who don’t share my worldview.” The paper The Fixation of Belief by CS Peirce, the founder of American pragmatism, has had a long lasting impact on my assumptions about the world. I am an imperfect practitioner of the scientific method. I'm on a quest to be less ignorant and more useful. I love animals and make youtube videos.
