We need to avoid going third party. Thinking that a third party would have more leverage

18. Yes.

I was thinking in general terms yesterday after a wonderful, wide-ranging discussion with Scuba.

I'm developing a crude and rather shallow outline of political psychology that can serve as a sort of "Cliff's Notes" for the area. My intention is merely to spread the knowledge of what that area offers, and provide a toehold for anyone who wants to dig into it further.

People who know about other areas of interest might want to develop similar integrative synopses of interesting areas such as the application of psychophysiological measures to assess the effects of various concepts, phrases, memes, etc. I know little about this area & it would be great to have a resource

People are crowdsourcing science funding for indie scientists these days. I could see us putting together some social-science research on a topic that would benefit the advance of Progressive ideals (e.g. research on attitudes/belief/values as they vary across the sociopolitical spectrum).

If 90% of scientists are liberal, we ought to have quite a pool of talent around this site. I think it would be very useful to put our talents to work developing ways to advance our goals. It starts with a pooling of information.

This is just a bunch of partially-baked ideas, to which I invite your thoughts.
