How gullible are people? If you’ve been following Twitter recently (or um…The New Yorker?) you might have seen that lots of people think: not so much! In a forthcoming paper (philarchive.org/rec/PORBDC), Eric Mandelbaum and I argue for the opposite view:

Extremely excited to share that I will be joining Cornell University as an Assistant Professor of Psychology in Fall 2025! I’m just so thrilled to be joining such a lively department, and the thriving moral psych/philosophy community there.
